and post-weld cool-down. This model has the probe forcing material downward during<br />

the initial deformation zone except near the shoulder where it is initially forced upward.<br />

The material is then rotated around the pin and deposited in the cavity behind the moving<br />

tool during the extrusion period. The forging period encompasses consolidation of the<br />

extruded material by the downward pressure of the shoulder heel.<br />

Figure 11: Graphic depictions of Abregast metalworking FSW model, figure from [59].<br />

Chen et al. [66] use a probe breaking technique to observe in-process weld<br />

dynamics. The author notes that this technique results in the probe slowing to a stop over<br />

some unknown number of revolutions after breaking from the shoulder.<br />
