Abstract
An additive friction stir deposition machine and the method of using it. The friction stir deposition machine has a stationary tool with a fixed shoulder and an opening. The fixed shoulder is fixed from rotation with respect to a substate onto which feedstock material is deposited to build a layer. A guide tube holds the feedstock material and is rotatable within the stationary tool. The opening in the stationary shoulder circumscribes the open end of the guide tube. The feedstock material is co-rotatable with the guide tube and rotating the guide tube rotates with the feedstock.
