Study of the Effect on Friction Welded Surface on Copper Aluminium Juncture

Abstract:

The economical and highly productive method of welding is used to join a dissimilar material. The quality of welded joint with high efficiency is obtained from friction welding process. The intention of the current work is to assess the progress of solid state juncture of dissimilar materials of aluminum 6082 and copper. The strong joints were developed using frictional heat and external pressure. The friction welded joints were tested under welding strength and surface analysis using scanning force microscopy (SFM). Rotational speed, friction pressure and forging pressure were used to evaluate the performance of the welded joints. Optimize the welding strength and hardness was attained through taguchi method.
