In order to obtain better understanding of the friction stir weldability of the magnesium alloy and provide some foundational information for improving mechanical properties of retardant magnesium alloy joints. A retardant magnesium alloy was weld using the method of friction stir welding. The influence of welding parameters on the strength of the joint was investigated. The maximum strength of 230 MPa was obtained from the joint welded at the tool rotational speed of 1000 r/min and welding speed of 750 mm/min.

Evolution Of Microstructure

Abstract The present investigation intends to interpret the effect of tool rotational speed on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution in Aluminium 6061-T6 alloy during friction stir welding. A higher value of tool rotation produces more hardness at the nugget zone, which is attributed to the higher intensity of reprecipitation at higher rpm, revealed by transmission electron microscopy. The nugget zone is revealed as a nearly precipitate-free region, while the thermo-mechanically affected zone contains coarse precipitates, deformed and dynamically recovered grains with a few recrystallized grains. Significant reduction in grain size in the stirred zone is also a key finding. The observations depict the dependence of microstructure, and thus mechanical behaviour on tool rotational speed. A specific combination of process parameters has been determined from experiments, which corresponds to the maximum joint efficiency.

Submerged friction stir welding (FSW) is used to improve the weld zones mechanical properties in the present study. This research aims to obtain the optimized process parameters used to fabricate the AA6063 Submerged FSW joint. In the Submerged FSW process, the most important influential factors are tool rotational speed, traverse speed, and pin profile in a seawater environment. The different workpieces are friction stir welded while submerged in seawater at different tool rotational speeds, traverse speeds, and tool pin profiles such as square pin, cylindrical taper pin, and threaded pin. The produced weldments were tested for the mechanical properties of higher tensile strength, microhardness, corrosion rate, and the microstructure of weldments was characterized by using a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer. The corrosion rate is investigated by using an electrochemical analyzer by potential dynamic polarization open-circuit technique. For this investigation, The Taguchi method with the L9 orthogonal array design of experimentation is adopted. The maximum UTS was acquired in the weld joint fabricated with 1250 r/min of tool rotational speed, 45 mm/min traverse speed, and a square tool pin. The stirred zone is tested for microhardness. High hardness is achieved with high tool rotational speed and low traverse speed with a square tool pin profile. The corrosion rate is also decreased with high tool rotational speed, low traverse speed, and a square tool pin profile.

The main aim of the present topic is friction stir welding (FSW) of Aluminium HE-30, which shows that improved microstructures, strong weld and with less of defects. In the other hand, an attempt was made to correlate the welding parameters and mechanical properties. In the present investigation four rotational speeds of 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1400 rpm and 1600 rpm with travelling speed of 30 mm/min. and tool geometry (straight cylindrical) was chosen. It was observed that the tool rotational speed is a sensitive parameter to decide the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the present material. Similarly, the hardness of Al plates is improved at the weld zone. Hence, it is suggested that to consider a parameter such as welding tool rotational speed, travelling speed and materials in selecting the welding methods of sound joints, because it influences the microstructure and mechanical properties in various applications. In the present study, non-destructive tests are also confirmed the defective nature of the weld zone of Al plates.

Dissimilar friction stir welding was carried out between AA6061-T6 and AA7075-T6 aluminum alloys. The effect of tool rotational speed and welding speed, on microstructure and mechanical properties were analysed in detail and presented. The tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial load and shoulder diameter to pin diameter (D/d ratio) were the parameters taken into consideration for the study. It was concluded that the tensile strength and hardness value gradually increased with the increase in tool rotational speed and decreased with the further increase in tool rotational speed. The microstructural analysis was carried out for the high strength specimen at various zones. Fine grain size and proper material mixing were observed in the stir zone. Fractographic image of the fractured surface for the high strength joint was presented and discussed. The joint fabricated with tool rotational speed 1000 RPM, welding speed 25 mm/min, axial load 6 kN and D/d ratio 3 exhibited superior mechanical properties when compared to all other joints.
