| Abstract Scope |
SKB has chosen FSW to seal the copper canisters that will contain Sweden´s nuclear waste. This paper shows the results and the challenges in this development as it approaches qualification and production. The major challenges include repeatable probe manufacturing and control and measurement of the shoulder depth. By controlling the shoulder depth the possible hook discontinuity in the capture joint can be controlled. |
