Non-woven fabrics are made of fiber mesh and carded or spun. They have the advantages of low cost, high output, easy production. The manufacturing process has a small carbon footprint and environmental benefits, which is in line with today's environmental issues and the important value of a circular economy. However, non-woven fabrics are thin and not very hard. They are usually assembled with other materials by vibration welding or adhesion, but they often lose their replaceability. This study attempts to develop a nonwoven fabric locking method and explore the impact of different friction stir drilling parameters on the formation of the boss and bushing.
