A computational fluid dynamics(CFD) based numerical model is developed to predict the temperature distribution during Friction Stir Welding(FSW) of dissimilar aluminum alloys. The effect of tool rotation speed and axial pressure on heat transfer during FSW has been studied. Numerical results indicate that the maximum temperature in FSW process can be increased with the increase of the axial pressure and tool rotation speed. The influence region of the tool shoulder in the direction of thickness can be increased with the increase in the axial pressure on the shoulder.

PENGARUH TOOL ROTATION SPEED TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIK SAMBUNGAN ALUMINIUM PADUAN 6061 T6 PADA PROSES FRICTION STIR WELDING. Pengelasan aduk tekan merupakan proses pengelasan yang baru dikembangkan pada tahun 1991, hingga saat ini berbagai penelitian terus dilakukan untuk menemukan parameter yang dapat menghasilkan sambungan las yang optimum sebagai alternatif proses pengelasan fusi yang masih memiliki beberapa kekurangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kecepatan putar tool yang menjadi salah satu parameter penting dalam friction stir welding pada pelat aluminium paduan 6061-T6 dengan tebal 6 mm terhadap sifat mekanik sambungan las, dengan variasi kecepatan putar yang digunakan 910 rpm, 1175 rpm, 1555 rpm, 1700 rpm dan 2000 rpm untuk mendapatkan parameter yang optimum. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan didapatkan hasil bahwa sambungan las dengan kecepatan putaran 910 rpm, 1175 rpm dan 1555 rpm tidak terdapat cacat dan memenuhi kriteria sambungan las berdasarkan standar AWS D17.3 sedangkan sambungan las yang memiliki sifat mekanik yang paling optimum yaitu sambungan las dengan kecepatan putar tool 910 rpm karena pengkasaran butir dan larutnya presipitat tidak terlalu signifikan dibandingkan dengan kecepatan putaran lainnya.Kata kunci: Pengelasan aduk tekan, pengelasan fusi, kecepatan putar, tool, aluminium paduan 6061-T6.

Friction Stir processing, a novel welding process which weld similar and dissimilar metals and alloys in solid state for joining metallic alloys and it has replaced conventional welding processes and have become an alternative welding technique. The commonly used aluminum alloys AA6061 and AA5086 were joined together using FSW. In this study, two parameters such as weld speed and tool rotation speed are taken into account. By varying these parameters the dissimilar alloys were welded together. The welded joints were analyzed for its chemical composition and phases formed due to heat produced by friction. The composition is characterized by Electron Back Scattered Diffraction technique (EBSD) and X-ray Diffraction technique (XRD). The influence of tool rotation speed and weld speed on texture has been studied.

In Friction Stir Welding (FSW) processes, force control can be used to achieve good welding quality. This paper presents the systematic design and implementation of a FSW path force controller. The path force is modeled as a nonlinear function of the FSW process parameters (i.e., plunge depth, tool traverse rate, and tool rotation speed). An equipment model, which includes a communication delay, is constructed to relate the commanded and measured tool rotation speed. Based on the dynamic process and equipment models, a feedback controller for the path force is designed using the Polynomial Pole Placement technique. The controller is implemented in a Smith Predictor–Corrector structure to compensate for the inherent equipment communication delay and the controller parameters are tuned to achieve the best closed loop response possible given equipment limitations. In the path force controller implementation, a constant path force is maintained, even in the presence of gaps, and wormhole generation during the welding process is eliminated by regulating the path force.
