Effect Of Copper

In recent year’s aluminium and aluminium alloys are most widely used in many applications because of light weight, good formability and malleability, corrosion resistance, moderate strength and low cost. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process is efficient and cost effective method for welding aluminium and aluminium alloys. FSW is a solid state welding process that means the material is not melted during the process. Complete welding process accomplishes below the melting point of materials so it overcomes many welding defects that usually happens with conventional fusion welding technique which were initially used for low melting materials. Though this process is initially developed for low melting materials but now process is widely used for a variety of other materials including titanium, steel and also for composites. The present butt jointed FSW experimental work has been done in two ways. Initially a comparison of tensile properties of friction stir (FS) welded similar aluminium alloy (AA6351 with AA6351) and dissimilar aluminium alloy (AA6351 with AA5083) combinations. Later the effect of impurities (copper and brass) in sheet form (0.1 mm thick) when used as insert in between two dissimilar aluminium alloy (AA6351 with AA5083) plates during FSW. Tensile tests were performed for these combinations and results were compared for with and without using strip material (copper and brass).

Friction welding is a solid state joining process of joining either similar or dissimilar materials. Joining of ceramic/metal joints by friction welding has opened up new possibilities in many engineering applications. In the present work, thermal modeling of friction welding process has been carried out. Using Finite Element Approach (FEA), analytical solutions were arrived for different ceramic/metal combinations. The temperature distributions of cylindrical surfaces of the alumina and the metals are found by means of 1D heat transfer assumption considering the effect of convection. In the thermal analysis, interfacial temperature and thermal conductivity of the material play a significant role. Based on the obtained temperature distribution the graphs are plotted between the length of the joint and the temperatures. Thus the knowledge of the temperature joint distribution could be helpful in predicting the thermal cycle of the process, microstructure evolution and residual stress formation. Thus the obtained graph helps to study and predict the temperature distribution of both the materials.

Friction welding of dissimilar materials, Ni-base superalloy IN713LC and oil-quench plus tempered AISI 4140 steel, was investigated. Friction welding was carried out with various process variables such as friction pressure and time. The quality of welded joints was tested by applying bending stresses in an appropriate jig. Microstructures of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) were investigated along with micro-hardness tests over the friction weld joints. DEFORM-2D FE code was used to simulate the effect of welding variables in friction welding process on the distributions of the state variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature. The formation of the metal burr during the friction welding process was successfully simulated, and the temperature distribution in the heat-affected zone indicated a good agreement with the variation of the microstructures in the HAZ.

In today’s manufacturing environment, there is always a need to use cost effective methods and materials for production purposes. Friction welding is one of such method that offers cost effectiveness and high productivity rate as compared to other similar welding processes. Friction welding process has been used widely in the manufacturing world. It is an adjustable and tolerant process that can join most engineering materials. It is a well-established welding process that can produce good quality weldment between similar and dissimilar materials. Due to this flexibility of use of different materials, it has been used in many applications such as aerospace, automotive and other related manufacturing industries etc. The main objective of this research is to study possibility of doing friction-welding on a typical lathe machine instead of doing it on a friction welding machine and also to check the reliability of the welded joint. Conventional Lathe machine was converted into a friction-welding machine by adopting a systematic procedure. The fixture of the attachment was designed, manufactured and installed and different parameters such as applied pressure and spindle rpm were tested in order to achieve the welding joint by friction. The materials used for welding were Stainless Steel 070M20 and Aluminum 2011-T3.

Abstract Grade 2, the most widely used pure titanium in the industry, has high corrosion resistance, excellent ductility, good weldability and is easily machinable. If titanium is exposed to temperatures above 500 °C due to moisture or hydrocarbons in the air, it is susceptible to taking up oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen. This can cause cracks, especially after welding. Therefore, protection of the welding zone from external factors is of great importance during welding. For these reasons, TIG welding is the most widely used method for titanium welding. In this study, Grade 2 pure titanium plates are joined by TIG welding at three (40 A, 60 A and 80 A) current values under the same conditions. For the welding process, 2 wt.-% cerium addition Tungsten tip and high purity (99.99 vol.-%) argon was used as a shielding gas. After a visual inspection of the welded samples, microstructure inspections, macrostructure inspections, hardness measurements, bending tests and tensile tests were performed in accordance with the standards. As a result of the investigations, it was determined that the most suitable current value for the joining of Grade 2 titanium by TIG welding was 60 A.

<p>Friction welding is a solid state welding processes in which the weld is obtained by the heat generated due to forging and friction. Now a day’s eco-friendly joining of dissimilar materials is the need of the industries. The advantages of friction welding process are reduction in production time and cost saving. Friction welding is classified into two types. One type is Inertia drive friction welding and the other is Continuous drive friction welding. In continuous drive friction welding one of the work pieces is held stationary while the other is held for a certain rotating speed. The two work pieces are brought together under certain friction pressure for a<br />certain period of time known as friction time. Then, the rotation is stopped and upset pressure is applied for a certain upset time. Then, the spindle is disengaged and the component is unloaded. In Inertia drive friction welding one part is held stationary while the other is clamped in the chuck which is attached to the flywheel. The flywheel and chuck is rotated for a certain seed to store a predetermined energy. In this paper, review of friction welding on different materials and their weld ability has been discussed in brief.</p>

Joining Process

Nowadays, the joining process plays a vital role in every field of engineering application. Various similar and dissimilar materials are joined by many joining processes to a formed complex component. In all joining processes, welding is a very popular and effective joining process that gives permanent joint. In this process material to be joined is under influence of heat which is produced with aid of external (flame) and internal (friction) mediums. Further, there are types of welding process called friction welding which is solid-state welding, in that process friction had developed between materials having relative motion thus sufficient heat also produced, and welding is performed in solid-state. In recent time’s friction welding is widely used in automobile, aeronautical, structural, marine, etc areas due to its flexibility demand for various materials. In this research work, the aluminium 6061 and mild steel are joined by friction welding by varying the rotating speed of lathe chuck, friction time, burn-off length, and the joint is examined by a tensile test to check its strength. Taguchi’s orthogonal array was used to design the experiment and at the end, the ANOVA test is carried out for the optimization of process parameters.
