Experimental Study on Friction Welding of without Backing Block of Commercial Copper Tube without Hole (WoH) to AL 2025 Tube Plate by Using Clearance Fit Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the field of metals join technology witnessing remarkable strange getting better. Welding technique is an important metal fabrication process that has varied industrial sectors such as Aerospace, Automobile, Boilers and etc. In this process of friction welding in tube to tube plate using an external tool (FWTPET) of without backing block of commercial Copper tube without hole (WoH) and Al 2025 tube plate is investigated using an clearance fit method. Based on this observation, the physical property of joint strength in commercial copper tube to AL 2025 tube plate by FWTPET process concludes better. Taguchi approach was applied to determine the most influential control factors which joining strength yields better. L9 orthogonal array was used in this study. Besides, the most influential process parameter has been determined using statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA).
