Figure 113: (Unsupported, conical tool) The moment decreased consistently with<br />

increasing rotational rate. Moment values were much lower for the partial penetration,<br />

conical tool portion of the experiment.<br />

The xy-plane force direction and magnitude data for the cupped tool, supported<br />

setup is presented in Figure 114. It can be seen that increasing the traverse rate has the<br />

consistent and intuitive effect of pushing the tool more forcefully in the direction<br />

opposite the tool travel. Figure 115 shows the xy-plane force vectors for the conical tool,<br />

unsupported welds. In all cases for the conical tool the tool is being pushed towards the<br />

advancing side and against the direction of travel. For both the cupped and conical tools,<br />

the tool is pushed towards the advancing side in all cases. This is because the leading<br />

edge of the tool is moving towards the retreating side and it is at the tool leading edge<br />

where cooler and undisturbed metal is encountered.<br />
