Friction stir processing (FSP) was performed on AA 7075-T6, a heat treatable high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. The two main FSP parameters, the tool rotational and travel speed, were varied systematically in order to understand their influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the processed zone. At a given rotational speed, increasing the travel speed increased the microhardness of the nugget (stir) zone; for a given travel speed there appeared to be an optimum rotational speed which resulted in the highest microhardness. The range of FSP parameters used did not significantly influence the nugget zone grain size. It is suggested that the observed mechanical properties are a result of the complex interactions between the FSP thermo-mechanical effects and the processes of dissolution, coarsening and re-precipitation of the strengthening precipitates in this alloy.

AbstractIn the present study, the effect of tool rotational speed on microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints between commercially pure copper and 6351 Al alloy was carried out in the range of tool rotational speeds of 300-900 rpm in steps of 150 rpm at 30 mm/minutes travel speed. Up to 450 rpm, the interface of the joints is free from intermetallics and Al4Cu9intermetallic has been observed at the stir zone. However, Al4Cu9intermetallic was observed both at the interface and the stir zone at 600 rpm. At 750 and 900 rpm tool rotational speed, the layers of AlCu, Al2Cu3and Al4Cu9intermetallics were observed at the interface and only Al4Cu9intermetallics has been observed in the stir zone. The maximum ultimate tensile strength of ~207 MPa and yield strength of ~168 MPa along with ~6.2% elongation at fracture of the joint have been obtained when processed at 450 rpm tool rotational speed.
