Figure 137: Anvil-less butt/lap type weld joining 3 material sections and not performed<br />

in the experiments presented in this work. The joint and materials could alternatively be<br />

configured with the lateral interface following the curvature of the top surface.<br />

Unsupported welds of this kind with a traditional FSW tool create a bead type defect on<br />

the underside. A shoulder-less, conical tool was used in unsupported welds in the<br />

experiment.<br />
