Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Poly Methyl Methacrylate and Polycarbonate Sheets
Authors
Abstract:
The widespread application of thermoplastic polymers in different aspects of industries has motivated researchers and companies to improve and upgrade their forming, joining and assembling processes to overcome their limitations. One of the newest joining methods of thermoplastics is friction stir welding which is based on frictional heat generated through contact between a rotating tool and the workpiece.The aim of this study is to investigate the weldability of dissimilarpoly methyl methacrylate and polycarbonatesheets via friction stir welding approach.The effects of process parameters such as rotational and traverse speeds and the heater temperature on the mechanical properties of the joints were studied comprehensively. Rotational and traverse speeds and heater temperature of 2100 rpm, 8 mm/min and 120 °C, offered the optimized mechanical properties of the joint. In the optimum joining condition, welded joint with strength equal to 98% of polycarbonate and with higher hardness than the polycarbonate was obtained.

full textFriction stir welding of dissimilar alloys – a perspective
Friction stir welding does not involve bulk melting of the components that are joined. This has inspired attempts to exploit it for joining materials which differ in properties, chemical composition or structure, and where fusion can lead to detrimental reactions. The purpose of this special issue of Science and Technology of Welding and Joining was to assess the status of friction stir welding...

A liquation cracking mechanism of dissimilar Al alloys during the friction stir welding (FSW) is suggested in this study. To identify the mechanism, the precipitates were analyzed and Al-Mg-Cu phase diagrams were calculated. Electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) analysis and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) were also conducted. In the same manner as constitutional liquation, at high hea...
