The Friction Stir Welding of Cylindrical Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present research activity aims at studying different conditions for the circumferential friction stir welding of cylindrical components in aluminium alloy. Different parameters have been considered, such as the rotational velocity of the tool, the tangential velocity of the cylindrical elements and the number of welding passes. The obtained data have been analysed and the strength of each joint modelled. It has been observed a relevant effect of the combination between the rotational velocity of the tool and the tangential velocity of the cylindrical components on the strength of the joint.
