The weld macrosections show complete penetration of the weld nugget through<br />

the work. Figure 151 shows the appearance of lateral-cross sections of welds made at<br />

low rates using the 3/16” dia. probe (narrow probe) tool. Frames were taken looking<br />

down the weld with the retreating side on the left. Weld samples were first mounted,<br />

then sanded over silicon carbide discs at various grits finishing with P1500, polished<br />

using 0.5µ alumina suspension, and finally etched by 1 minute bath in Keller’s reagent.<br />

Figure 152 shows lateral views of remaining welds made using the narrow probe tool.<br />

Increasing the width of the probe predictably increases the width of the weld nugget.<br />

Figure 153, Figure 154, Figure 155, and Figure 156 show the lateral macrosection<br />

appearance of welds made using the 6mm dia. probe (wide probe) tool at 5.2 to 17ipm,<br />

and at 1200 to 1600rpm.<br />

Figure 151: Lateral macrosection view of welds made at 5.2 and 6.6ipm using a 5/8” dia.<br />

scrolled shoulder, 3/16” dia. threaded probe tool. Two of the weld images presented<br />

above were made by composition of two photos due to an equipment issue.<br />
