Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for the friction stir welding of two components, in particular of two shell components of a fuselage structure of an aircraft and spacecraft, said method comprising the following method steps: positioning the two components relative to one another in such a way that a connection region is formed between the two components; friction stir welding the two components by means of a friction stir welding tool which penetrates the connection region in order to produce a weld which permeates the connection region with the formation of an unpenetrated weld edge portion of the connection region; and introducing internal compressive stresses, at least in the weld edge portion of the connection region. Further a device for the friction stir welding of two components, in particular of two shell components of a fuselage structure of an aircraft and spacecraft is provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for friction stir welding of two components in butt weld configuration, the method comprising: positioning the two components relative to one another in such a way that a connection region is formed in a butt joint between the two components; friction stir welding the two components by a friction stir welding tool which penetrates the connection region in its depth in order to produce a weld configured as a butt weld which permeates the conn…
