Effect of Preheat Temperature on Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Alloy 5052 Joints
Abstract:
The effects of preheat temperature on mechanical properties and the microstructure of friction stir welded (FSW) aluminum alloy 5052 joints were studied in the present work. Heated air from Hot Gun was applied in front of the FSW tool to give the preheat on friction stir welding process. Preheat temperature was set 150°C, 250°C and 300°C. Mechanical properties were correlated and analyzed according to tensile strength, macro and microstructure. Defect free weldswere obtained at all preheat variations. The increasing preheat temperature produced the coarser grain size, it influencedthe little decrease both the tensile strength and hardness of joints.
