Effect of Welding Speed on Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Welded AA 6082-T6 Al Alloy

Abstract:

In this study the effect of process parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of similar AA6082-T6 joints produced by friction stir welding was investigated. Different samples were produced by varying the transverse welding speeds of the tool from 19 to 75 mm/min and a fixed rotational speed of 635 rpm. A more uniform hardness values in the nugget zone were observed at 48 mm/min welding speed. The lowest hardness values were recorded on nugget zone at all the welding speeds. The increase in welding speed increases ultimate tensile strength and reaches maximum and further increase in welding speed results decrease in tensile strength were observed. The welded joint has highest joint efficiency (52.33 %) obtained at the welding speed of 48 mm/min. Similarly with the increase in welding speed decrease in the percentage elongation were recorded.
