2219 Aluminum Alloy

The online prediction of friction stir welding quality is an important part of intelligent welding. In this paper, a new method for the online evaluation of weld quality is proposed, which takes the real-time temperature signal as the main research variable. We conducted a welding experiment with 2219 aluminum alloy of 6 mm thickness. The temperature signal is decomposed into components of different frequency bands by wavelet packet method and the energy of component signals is used as the characteristic parameter to evaluate the weld quality. A prediction model of weld performance based on least squares support vector machine and genetic algorithm was established. The experimental results showed that, when welding defects are caused by a sudden perturbation during welding, the amplitude of the temperature signal near the tool rotation frequency will change significantly. When improper process parameters are used, the frequency band component of the temperature signal in the range of 0~11 Hz increases significantly, and the statistical mean value of the temperature signal will also be different. The accuracy of the prediction model reached 90.6%, and the AUC value was 0.939, which reflects the good prediction ability of the model.

Friction stir welding (FSW) has become an important application in modern industries. Friction stir welding is a widely used solid state joining process for soft materials such as aluminum alloys as it avoids/minimizes common problems of fusion welding processes, i.e. distortion, porosity, solidification and liquation cracking etc. Improper selection of parameters such as welding speed, rotational speed, forge force, back plate material etc. affects the weld quality. Thermal boundary condition at the bottom of the work pieces to be joined is important in determining the result of weld quality and its properties, for a given alloy type, tool geometry and selected process parameters (welding speed, rotational speed etc), These thermal boundary conditions are governed by the back plate material used. By using backing plates made out of materials with widely varying thermal diffusivity this work seeks to elucidate the effects of the root side thermal boundary condition on weld process variables and resulting joint properties. Welds were made in 5-mm-thick AMг5 (AA 5056) using siliceous coating, stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum as backing plate (BP) material. Effects of backing plate material on the tensile strength and elongation were obtained for a particular case.
