In this work, similar and dissimilar friction stir welds of AA2024 and AA7039 were formed using optimized process parameters and truncated threaded tool. Characterization of weld joints for mechanical and microstructural properties was performed by tensile test, micro hardness test, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. The tensile strength of similar joints was higher than dissimilar joints despite lower microhardness of former. Fracture of FSW joints was found to be started by the fracture of strengthening precipitate θ or η or both in the region of tensile fracture. Dissimilar joints and similar joints of AA7039 exhibited ductile fracture mode while similar joints of AA2024 showed brittle fracture mode.

Abstract In the study, the mechanical and microstructural properties of friction stir welded EN AW-6060 Aluminum Alloy plates were investigated. The friction stir welding (FSW) was conducted at tool rotational speeds of 900, 1250, and 1500 rpm and at welding speeds of 100, 150 and 180 mm/min. The effect of the tool rotational and welding speeds such properties was studied. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by means of micro-hardness (HV) and tensile tests at room temperature. The tensile properties of the friction stir welded tensile specimens depend significantly on both the tool rotational and welding speeds. The microstructural evolution of the weld zone was analysed by optical observations of the weld zones

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

The present study is on the development of friction stir welding (FSW) of commercial grade Al-alloy to study the mechanical and microstructural properties. The proposed research will include experiments related to the effect of FSW optimum process parameter on weldability of Al alloy. The present paper has been subdivided in to two different sections: 1. Study of Mechanical properties and 2. Study of micro-structural properties. Section1 describes the tensile strength of welded sample and distribution of microhardness in different zones of FSW weld specimen and section2 contains the microstructure characterization of different zones of friction stir welds.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

The effect of processing parameters on mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar AA6082-AA2024 joints produced by Friction Stir Welding was analysed in the present study. Different samples were produced by employing a fixed rotating speeds of 1600 RPM and by using the advancing speeds of the tool of 80 and 115 mm/min. All the welds were produced in direction perpendicular to the rolling one for both the alloys and by changing, for all the processing conditions, the alloy positioned on the advancing side of the tool. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by room temperature tensile tests. Fatigue tests on the welds were carried out by using a resonant electro-mechanical testing machine under constant loading control up to 250 Hz sine wave loading. The fatigue tests were conducted in the axial total stress-amplitude control mode with R=smin/smax=0.1. The microstructural evolution of the material was analysed by optical observations of the welds cross sections and SEM observations of the fracture surfaces.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

The effect of processing parameters on the mechanical and microstructural properties of dissimilar AA6061 t6–AA5083 0 joints produced by friction stir welding was studied. Different samples were produced by varying the advancing speeds of the tool as 20 and 40 mm/min and by varying the alloy positioned on the advancing side of the tool. In the various trials the rotating speed is varied from 600 to 900 RPM. All the welds were produced perpendicular to the rolling direction for both the alloys. Micro hardness (HV) and tensile tests performed at room temperature were used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the joints. Various tests were performed on the joints previously subjected to ageing. In order to analyze the micro structural evolution of the material, the welds’ zones were observed optically.

Rolling is a very common technique for shaping sheet metal. It aims to reduce the thickness of a metal sample to adapt it to the usual conditions of use in the industry. Nevertheless, this technique is not without modifying the mechanical and microstructural properties of the materials that can influence the mechanical strength of shaped parts. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the changes in microstructures and micro-hardness of Al-Mg-Si alloy with different rolling reduction in thickness and following artificial aging treatments at 175° C . We notice that the micro-hardness increases with the increasing of the deformation level . Reduction in thickness shows a change in microstructure and texture. Characterization methods used in this work is: Optical Microscopy (OM) and, Vickers microhardness.
