The main objective of this study is to investigate the strength of the swept friction stir spot welded aluminum plate by changing the welding process parameters. In this paper, the joining was done on thin aluminum alloy plates using the Octaspotâ�¢ tool path with a radius of 10 mm. The samples were welded using a CNC milling machine. The study focuses on two process parameters which are the tool rotational speed and the welding traverse speed. The samples were analyzed on their shear strength and the results show that the higher the tool speed, the higher the shear strength is. However, when the rotational speed is increased, the shear strength shows a decreased pattern. The overall results are in good agreement with other published results. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2016. date: 2016 publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84991765454&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-10-1082-8_11&partnerID=40&md5=0bb95650a91a9ef86e00d240921c1c83 id_number: 10.1007/978-981-10-1082-8₁₁ full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Structured Materials volume: 61 pagerange: 105-110 refereed: TRUE issn: 18698433 citation: Awang, M. and Ismail, A. and Zaman, M.A.K.
