An Optimized Method for Choosing Friction Stir Welding Parameters

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effect of rotating speed and welding velocity on properties of 6063-3A21 dissimilar Friction Stir weld was experimental studied, results show that too high or too low welding velocity will result in a decrease of the weld strength; effect of rotating speed on weld strength is relatively small. An optimized method for Choosing Friction Stir Welding parameters was proposed, which include three steps, first, fix a rotating speed through experimental analysis; and then find out reasonable ranges of v/w; finally work out the optimized welding speed range.
