Experimental Investigation on the Impact of the Tool Material & Geometry in Joining of Al 63400 Alloy Using Friction Stir Welding Process

Abstract:

In this paper, a detailed experimental investigation was carried on the impact of the effects of tool pin and shoulder diameter in joining the Al 63400 aluminium alloy using FSW process. Flat plates of 6 mm thickness have been selected as the base material for obtaining single butt welded joints. The tool materials used for joining these base material plates are High Speed Steel (HSS) and High Chromium High Carbon Steel (HCHCr). This paper experimentally investigates and suggests the appropriate, suitable tool material & tool geometry for producing good quality welds in joining of Al 63400 alloy using FSW process.
