Mechanical Interlocking of Titanium and Steel Using Friction Stir Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study presents a novel method for mechanically interlocking dissimilar alloys of pure titanium with steel through using the principles of friction stir forming (FSF) technique. In present study, titanium plate is placed on top of a steel sheet containing a screwed hole. FSF is conducted on top of the titanium alloy, which produces sufficient heat to plasticize the alloy. This results in a flow of titanium into the screw hole in the steel, due to the plastic deformation, thereby mechanically interlocking titanium with the steel. The mechanical properties of the developed interlock are investigated through tensile and hardness tests and microstructural observation.
