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...

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 comp...

The relevance, importance and presence of industrial robots in manufacturing have increased over the years, with applications in diverse new and nontraditional manufacturing processes. This paper presents the complete concept and design of a novel friction stir welding (FSW) robotic platform for welding polymeric materials. It was conceived to have a number of advantages over common FSW machine...
