The influence of tool control in non-linear friction stir welding (FSW) on mechanical properties of joints was investigated. FSW is widely applied to linear joints. It is impossible for five axis FSW machines, however, to keep all the FSW parameters in optimum conditions at non-linear welding. Non-linear FSW joints should be made by compromise with the order of priority for FSW parameters. The tensile test results of butt joints with rectangular change in welding direction on plate plane (L-shaped butt joints) with various welding parameter change. It was found that turn to the retreating side is encouraged when welding direction change. And the method of zero inclination tool angle is effective at non-linear and plane welding.

The results of technological features for friction stir welding of butt joints of sheet blanks with thickness of 3 mm made of casting aluminum V AL8 alloy with wrought magnalium group 1565chN2 and AMg6M alloys are presented. It is established that the time resistance of the joints depends on the location of the welded alloys relative to the direction of tool rotation during friction stir welding. The ultimate strength of welded joints of VAL8 alloy with 1565chN2 and AMg6 alloys in automatic argon-arc welding is 0.82...0.84 of the ultimate tensile strength of VAL8 alloy. The grain size in the stir zone practically does not depend on the initial grain size in the alloys to be joined. The destruction of the joints made of VAL8 + 1565chH2 alloys under cyclic loading has multi-focal character and is initiated from irregularities on the surface of the weld. The discrete nature of the change in the chemical composition of the weld metal along the axis of the weld is revealed. The weld is formed by alternating strips of connected alloys with width of 30...90 microns.

Al-Mg-Si (6061-T6) alloy with 0.8 mm thick plate was welded successfully by use of high speed friction stir welding (FSW) technology. The microstructural characteristics and mechanical property of the butt joints prepared by high speed FSW were analyzed in detail, the influence of welding parameters, fixture condition and after welding heat treatment were also explored. The results shown that sound surface topography and defect-free bonding interface were observed in the nugget zone (NZ). The microhardness of the as-welded joint was lower than that of the base metal because of the welding heat effect. Compared with the conventional speed FSW, the number of β-Mg2Si, Al2CuMg and Al8Fe2Si precipitated phases existed in the high speed FSWed NZ increased, which made the microhardness in the NZ improved significantly. The rod-shaped precipitates (Mg2Si) have the greatest influence on the microhardness distributions. The maximum tensile strength of 301.8 MPa, which was 85.8% of the base metal, was obtained at high rotation speed of 8000 rpm and fast welding speed of 1500 mm/min. The tensile strength of the ultra-high speed FSWed butt joints were improved significantly by post-weld artificial aging, with a maximum joint efficiency of 90.4%.

Oxidation Layers

Bobbin friction stir welding with a double-sided tool configuration produces a symmetrical solid-state joint. However, control of the process parameters to achieve defect-free welds is difficult. The internal flow features of the AA6082-T6 butt-joints in bobbin friction stir welding were evaluated using a set of developed reagents and optical microscopy. The key findings are that the dark curved patterns (conventionally called 'flow-arms'), are actually oxidation layers at the advancing side, and at the retreating side are elongated grains with a high-density of accumulation of sub-grain boundaries due to dynamic recrystallization. A model of discontinuous flow within the weld is proposed, based on the microscopic observations. It is inferred that the internal flow is characterized by packets of material ('flow patches') being transported around the pin. At the retreating side they experience high localized shearing at their mutual boundaries, as evidenced in high density of sub-grain boundaries. Flow patches at the advancing side are stacked on each other and exposed to oxidization.
