Figure 137: Anvil-less butt/lap type weld joining 3 material sections and not performed in the experiments presented in this work. The joint and materials could alternatively be configured with the lateral interface following the curvature of the top surface. Unsupported welds of this kind with a traditional FSW tool create a bead type defect on the underside. A shoulder-less, conical tool was used in unsupported welds in the experiment.
