Welding Materials

Friction Stir Welding, abbreviated FSW is a new and innovative welding process. This welding process is increasingly required, more than traditional arc welding, in industrial environment such us: aeronautics, shipbuilding, aerospace, automotive, railways, general fabrication, nuclear, military, robotics and computers. FSW, more than traditional arc welding, have a lot of advantages, such us the following: it uses a non-consumable tool, realise the welding process without melting the workpiece material, can be realised in all positions (no weld pool), results of good mechanical properties, can use dissimilar materials and have a low environmental impact. This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of friction stir welding joints to three dissimilar aluminium alloy AA2024, AA6061 and AA7075. For experimenting the value of the input process parameters, the rotation speed and advancing speed were kept the same and the position of plates was variable. The exit date recorded in the time of process and after this, will be compared between them and the influence of position of plate will be identified on the welding seams properties and the best position of plates for this process parameters and materials.

Friction Stir Welding, abbreviated FSW is an innovative joining process. The FSW is a solid-state welding process with a lot of advantages comparing to the traditional arc welding, such as the following: it uses a non-consumable tool, it results of good mechanical properties, it can use dissimilar materials and it have a low environmental impact. First of all, the FSW process was developed to join similar aluminum plates, and now, the technology was developed and the FSW process is used to weld large types of materials, similar or dissimilar. In this paper it is presented an experimental study and the results of it, which includes the welding of three dissimilar aluminum alloy, with different chemical and mechanical properties. This three materials are: AA2024, AA6061 and AA7075. The welding joints and the welding process were analyzed considering: process temperature, micro-hardness, macrostructure and microstructure.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process used for welding similar and dissimilar materials. The process is widely used because it does not have common problems such as solidification and liquefaction cracking associated with the fusion welding techniques. The objective of the present research is to find the best combination of friction stir welding process parameters to join aluminium 5052 and 6061 alloy materials. The combination of process parameters is helpful to improve ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, percentage of elongation and hardness of welded joint. To achieve the research objective taguchi based grey analysis was used. The optimum process parameters were found be at rotational speed is 1400 rpm, transverse speed of 100 mm/min and axial force is at 11 KN.

The article presents results of the friction stir welding of 6 mm thick plates made of wrought aluminium alloy EN AW-6082. Tests discussed in the article involved the identification of the effect of primary welding process parameters on the quality of welds. Test welds were subjected to visual tests, measurements of temperature (inside the weld), tensile strength tests as well as macro and microscopic metallographic tests and structural tests (performed using a scanning electron microscope). The application of the appropriate values of the primary welding process parameters (i.e. the tool rotation rate and the welding rate) enabled the obtainment of the high and repeatable quality of FSW joints made of aluminium alloy EN AW-6082. The test results presented in the article can offer technological solutions for potential

Friction Stir Welding Process

The present work focused on welding aluminium alloy 5083 using the friction stir welding process. Suitable welding process parameters were identified to fabricate a defect-free butt joint with a tool rotational speed of 1600 rpm, traverse speed of 20 mm/min and tilt angle of 3°. The microstructure at the nugget zone, thermo mechanically affected zone, heat-affected zone and base metal zone are examined. Mechanical properties of the weldment exhibited promising results with an average joint efficiency and hardness of 75.70% and 94.0 ± 5.0 vickers hardness, respectively. Fractography revealed ductile mode of failure in base and weld metal tensile samples. Furthermore, a 3D thermomechanical finite element model was utilized to simulate the friction stir welding process using the selected process parameters. Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian-based model aided in predicting residual stress distributions and thermal history during the friction stir welding process.

Titanium alloy TC1 and Aluminum alloy LF6 were jointed by friction stir welding (FSW), and the influence of process parameters on formation of weld surface, cross-section morphology and tensile strength were studied. The results show that, Titanium and Aluminum dissimilar alloy is difficult to be joined by FSW, and some defects such as cracks and grooves are easy to occur. When the rotational speed of stir head(n) is 750r/min and 950r/min, the welding speed(v) is 118mm/min or 150mm/min, a good formation of weld surface can be obtained, but the bonding of titanium/aluminum interface in the cross-section of weld joint is bad when n is 750r/min which results in a low strength joint. When n is 950r/min and v is 118mm/min，the strength of the FSW joint of Titanium/Aluminum dissimilar materials is 131MPa which is the highest．
