[en] Friction stir welding (FSW) process is a solid‐state joining process during which materials to
be joined are not melted. As a consequence, the heat‐affected zone is smaller and the quality
of the weld is better with respect to more classical welding processes. Because of extremely
high strains in the neighborhood of the tool, classical numerical simulation techniques have
to be extended in order to track the correct material deformations. The Arbitrary
Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation is used to preserve a good mesh quality throughout
the computation. With this formulation, the mesh displacement is independent from the
material displacement. Moreover, some advanced numerical techniques such as remeshing
or a special computation of transition interface is needed to take into account non‐cylindrical
tools. During the FSW process, the behavior of the material in the neighborhood of the tool is
at the interface between solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. Consequently, a numerical
model of the FSW process based on a solid formulation is compared to another one based on
a fluid formulation. It is shown that these two formulations essentially deliver the same
results in terms of pressures and temperatures.
