FSW of Aluminum Alloys: Effect of Operating Parameters on the Weld Quality

Abstract:

The Friction Stir Welding FSW is a welding process in the solid state to join metallic alloys that is used in many industrial applications such as aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding. The process parameters such as the geometry of the tool, the speed of rotation and the speed of advance play a major role in determining the weld quality. In this work, an attempt was made to establish a relationship between the properties of the base material and FSW process parameters. Welds were made using AA1050 Aluminum alloy with different combination of parameters. Metallographic analysis was performed to verify the (faulty or fault-free) weld quality. Tests microhardness, tensile and bending were carried out to study the changes in the mechanical properties in the weld zone.
