abstract

friction welding is widely used in various industries. in friction welding, heat is generated by conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy at the interface the work pieces during pin rotation under pressure. a three-dimensional thermo mechanical simulation of friction stir welding (fsw) processes is carried out for aluminium alloys of 6061and 7050 where the simulation results are compared directly with the measured temperature histories during fsw after process. the objective of the present work is to study and predict the heat transient generated in alloy aluminium plate welded by fsw method. a three dimensional model was developed by ls-dyna software and heat cycles have been proposed during the welding of aluminium alloys 6061 and 7050. in this research, the simulations were carried out with linear velocity in the range of 140 to 225 mm/min and pin rotational speeds of 390 and 500 rpm. increase in pin rotational speed, from 390 to 500 rpm, resulted in greater temperatures which translated to rise of recorded temperature of top and bottom of the specimens. this is in turn to a wider haz. in addition, it was observed that raising the linear velocity had an opposite effect. finally, results of experimental and numerical data were correlated and validated

Finite element simulation of microstructure evolution during friction stir welding of automotive aluminum parts

7000 series Aluminum alloys are widely used in the automotive industries for structural lightweight components due to their exceptional high strength to weight ratio. However, this class of aluminum alloy is difficult to join by conventional fusion welding techniques so Friction stir welding (FSW) widely is used for welding this alloys. The process has been demonstrated to be effective and is c...

Numerical Simulation of Friction Stir Welding by Natural Element Methods

In this work we address the problem of numerically simulating the Friction Stir Welding process. Due to the special characteristics of this welding method (i.e., high speed of the rotating pin, very large deformations, etc.) finite element methods encounter several difficulties. Meshless methods somewhat alleviate this problems, allowing for an updated Lagrangian framework in the simulation. Ac...

Heat Transfer in Friction Stir Welding—Experimental and Numerical Studies

In the friction stir welding (FSW) process, heat is generated by friction between the tool and the workpiece. This heat flows into the workpiece as well as the tool. The amount of heat conducted into the workpiece determines the quality of the weld, residual stress and distortion of the workpiece. The amount of the heat that flows to the tool dictates the life of the tool and the capability of ...

Finite Element Studies on Friction Stir Welding Processes of Polyethylene Plates

One of the interesting state-of-the-art approaches to welding is the process of friction stir welding (FSW). In comparison with the fusion processes, FSW is an advantageous method as it is suitable for the non-fusion weldable alloys and polymeric materials joining. Regarding the materials pure solid state joining, it also provides joints with less distortion and enhanced mechanical properties. ...
