Zusammenfassung:	One aspect of the disclosure relates to a friction stir welding apparatus (202). The friction stir welding apparatus (202) comprises a spindle housing (204), a pin tool (206) concentric with an axis (208) and rotatable relative to the spindle housing (204) about the axis (208). The friction stir welding apparatus (202) also includes a first shoulder (210) not substantially rotatable relative to the spindle housing (204) about the axis (208), with the first shoulder comprising planar contact portions arranged at an angle relative to each other and oblique relative to the axis with the axis bisecting the angle at an apex thereof. The friction stir welding apparatus (202) also includes a second shoulder (212) opposing the first shoulder and rotatable relative to the spindle housing (204) about the axis (208).
