Thermo-Mechanical Modelling of Jointing Process by Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium-Based Composite Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Jointing with rotary active element gains field through technological facilities offered nowadays. Own research have developed a model for studying the thermal fields and the plastic deformations of jointing composite materials Al/20%SiC combined by friction stir welding (FSW). In this article we will present the three-dimensional distribution of investigated fields, correlated with input parameters in the process. The process is performed with solid state components. The numerical results indicate that the maximum temperature in the FSW process increases with increasing speed of rotational tools. For high speed welding joint, should be increased, at the same time, the rotational speed to avoid welding defects.
