Numerical and experimental evaluation of bending test of friction stir welded of brass alloy

In this paper, the standard bending test of friction stir welded thin plate of brass analyzes by finite element method. It is demonstrated to have voids due stirrer pin and established that theirs distribution is linear in thin plate weld. By considering experiments results in tensile standard test, the linearity of distribution agreed successfully. The mechanical properties of weld metal achieved by conducting standard tensile test and. Also, the stress concentration accurse in TMAZ-SZ limit of weld and this is fully establishes in tensile test of thin plate of brass welds by FSW.
