The article is devoted to the one of the features of choosing the technical parameters of regime of friction stir welding. The tool tilt angle is the object of research. This parameter underlies the mechanism of the formation of welding joints. The methodology and the experiment’s results of determining the influence of the tool tilt angle from the power and thermal characteristics of the process of friction stir welding are presented in this work. Also there is a presentation of the results of the welded joints’ studies which were done by the non-destructive and destructive methods of control. The dependency of the tool tilt angle from the power and the temperature in the welding zone is defined on the basis of the received results.

This work studies the effect of the tool tilt angle on the generated heat and the material flow in the work pieces joint by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). An apropos kinematic framework together with a two-stage speed-up strategy is adopted to simulate the FSW problem. The effect of tilt angle on the FSWelds is modeled through the contact condition by modifying an enhanced friction model. A rotated friction shear stress is proposed, the angle of rotation depending on the process parameters and the tilt angle. The proposed rotation angle is calibrated by the experimental data provided for a tilt angle 2.5°. The differences of generated heat and material flow for the cases of tool with tilt angle of 0° and 2.5° are discussed. It is concluded that due to the higher temperature, softer material and greater frictional force in the trailing side of the tool, the material flow in the rear side of the FSW tool with the title angle is considerably enhanced, which assists to prevent the generation of defect.

Tool Tilt Angle

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a simple process involving a rotating tool (with an extended pin) traversing on the joining line of the two work pieces leaving behind the required weld. Tool geometry (pin and shoulder), rotational speed, traverse speed, and tilt angle are important parameters which determine the resultant properties of weld. Milling machines due to rotating tool and traversing can be used as a method of doing laboratory scale FSW experiment. In cases where milling machines have a fixed head, limitation of zero degree tool tilt angle results in substantial defects (e.g. tunnel defect) in weldments. In this study a new approach is developed and adopted for overcoming this limitation of a fixed head vertical milling machine to incorporate the flexibility of tool tilt. The results for welding with and without this approach are presented along with discussion and conclusion.

Welding Processes

Heat treatable aluminium alloy AA2219 is widely used for aerospace applications, welded through gas tungsten and gas metal arc welding processes. Welds of AA2219 fabricated using a fusion welding process suffers from poor joint properties or welding defects due to melting and re-solidification. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process and hence free from any solidification related defects. However, FSW also results in defects which are not related to solidification but due to improper process parameter selection. One of the important process parameters, i.e., tool tilt angle plays a critical role in material flow during FSW, controlling the size and location of the defects. Effect of tool tilt angle on material flow and defects in FSW is ambiguous. A study is therefore taken to understand the role of tool tilt angle on FSW defects. Variation in temperature, forces, and torque generated during FSW as a result of different tool tilt angles was found to be responsible for material flow in the weld, controlling the weld defects. An intermediate tool tilt angle (1o-2o) gives weld without microscopic defect in 7 mm thick AA2219 for a given set of other process parameters. At this tool tilt angle, x-force, and Z- force is balanced with viscosity and the material flow strain rate sufficient for the material to flow and fill internal voids or surface defects in the weld.
