Numerical and experimental study of the heat transfer process in friction stir welding
نویسنده
چکیده
A mathematical model to describe the detailed three-dimensional transient heat transfer process in friction stir welding (FSW) is presented. This work is both theoretical and experimental. An explicit central diVerential scheme is used in solving the control equations, the heat transfer phenomena during the tool penetrating, the welding and the tool-removing periods that are studied dynamically. The heat input from the tool shoulder is modelled as a frictional heat and the heat from the tool pin is modelled as a uniform volumetric heat generated by the plastic deformation near the pin. The temperature variation during the welding is also measured to validate the calculated results. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this work, improved heat generation models are developed for straight and tapered shoulder geometries with different tool pin profiles in friction stir welding. The models are developed considering the welding process as a combination of the pure sliding and the pure sticking conditions. From the results, the amount of heat generation is directly proportional to the number of edges in the pi...
