Comparative Analysis of FSW and SFSW Welded Joints of EN AW 1200 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

Friction stir welding is a research direction within ISIM Timisoara, with contributions and results obtained in several research projects carried out in this field. The paper presents results obtained by ISIM Timisoara regarding FSW welding in ambient environment and in liquid working environment (submerged friction stir welding SFSW) of EN AW 1200 aluminum alloy, using a welding tool made of steel, with threaded cylindrical pin. FSW welding in liquid working environment aims to avoid overheating of the welding tool and welding device during the joining process, as well as achieving better results compared to FSW welding in ambient environment. The evaluation of welded joints included structural analysis, hardness measurements, tensile and bending tests. A comparative analysis of the results obtained in the FSW / SFSW welding experiments carried out for the EN AW 1200 aluminum alloy is presented. The obtained results are useful for the outline of the future experimental research programs which will be carried out within the ongoing Nucleu project PN 23.37.01.02, regarding friction stir processing in ambient and in a liquid environment of this material.
