Morphology and strength of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene welds performed by robotic friction stir welding

The aim of this study is to examine the main factors affecting friction stir welding (FSW) of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plates, performed by a robotic system developed to this purpose. Welds were carried out using a tool with stationary shoulder and an external heating system. The weldin...
