Correct answer: (A) It produces lap, butt and tee joints.; (C) On the retreating side, tool tangential velocity opposes the welding direction.
Explanation
FSW can make the listed joint types and is a solid-state process, so the tool softens and stirs material without bulk melting. Tool tangential velocity opposes travel on the retreating side and follows it on the advancing side. **A,C**.
