Figure 147: Axial force history for a weld performed with a 0.236”(6mm) diameter,<br />

threaded probe tool at 1600rpm and 15.7ipm. Force control was not used and axial<br />

values fluctuated within a range which did not affect weld appearance. To achieve this<br />

tolerance to weld contact pressure, a featured shoulder (scrolled) was used.<br />

Figure 148: The 5/8” (15.9mm) diameter scrolled shoulder, 3/16” (4.8mm) probe<br />

diameter tool used in this experiment. The scrolled shoulder feature increased tolerance<br />

to variation in contact condition and improved weld appearance.<br />
