نویسنده
چکیده
The paper deals with the optimization of welding parameters of friction stir welding of different Aluminium alloy groups. For this purpose 5 series Aluminium alloy Al 5083 and 6 series Aluminium alloy Al 6062 were taken .Tensile Strength test and micro structure analysis under various rotating speeds and tool profiles is conducted. It is observed that the increase in tool rotation speed and the tool axial force result in increase of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) up to a maximum value. In-significant effects of the tool profile at low welding speeds are noticed. At higher speeds square tool profile achieves higher strength than that of circular tool profile.

Emission of nanoparticles during friction stir welding (FSW) of aluminium alloys.
Friction stir welding (FSW) is now well established as a welding process capable of joining some different types of metallic materials, as it was (1) found to be a reliable and economical way of producing high quality welds, and (2) considered a "clean" welding process that does not involve fusion of metal, as is the case with other traditional welding processes. The aim of this study was to de...

متن کاملTorque based weld power model for friction stir welding
For decades, models have been developed for predicting the size of the weld nugget and heat affected zones in fusion welded structures. The basis for these models is the welding heat input, which is fairly well understood for most arc welding processes. However, this traditional approach is not as straightforward for friction stir welding (FSW). To date, no definitive relationship exists to qua...
