A Friction Stir Welding Platform of Thin Plates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Friction stir welding processes involve many variables. Engineers and operators often find it difficult to effectively design or control it. The objective of this work is to develop a friction stir welding platform of thin plates to improve welding quality and to increase production efficiency. The study is conducted by using finite element modeling and temperature field analysis technology to obtain optimization parameters, and using virtual instrument, multi-sensor data fusion to monitor the force of the stirring spindle. Experiment results show that the developed platform can reach the requirements of processing quality and is cost-effective.
