Relationship between base metal properties and friction stir welding process parameters

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process for joining aluminum alloys and has been employed in aerospace, rail, automotive and marine industries for joining aluminium, magnesium, zinc and copper alloys. In FSW, the base metal properties such as yield strength, ductility and hardness control the plastic flow of the material under the action of rotating non-consumable tool. The FSW process parameters such as tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial force, etc. play a major role in deciding the weld quality. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to establish relationship between the base material properties and FSW process parameters. FSW joints have been made using five different grades of aluminium alloys (AA1050, AA6061, AA2024, AA7039 and AA7075) using different combinations of process parameters. Macrostructural analysis has been done to check the weld quality (defective or defect free). Empirical relationships have been established between base metal properties and tool rotational speed and welding speed, respectively. The developed empirical relationships can be effectively used to predict the FSW process parameters to fabricate defect free welds.     

Joining of metal matrix composites using friction stir welding: a review

The application of fusion welding process is restricted to certain grades of alloys and materials. Solid-state joining process offers greater advantages over fusion welding process such as fumeless and effective joining, minimum or no preparation time, environment friendly, etc. One such solid-state joining process is friction stir welding (FSW), which uses a non-consumable rotating tool. This rotating tool joins the two faying surfaces of the workpiece by forging them. This joining technique successfully joins metals, alloys and metal matrix composite (MMC), which are considered as difficult to join using conventional processes. The present study is an endeavor to review a specific domain of FSW, i.e. joining of MMCs. The initial part of the study provides a detailed introduction about the FSW process, and along with it, an overview of the published literature related to FSW of alloys has been presented. The later part of the study pays specific attention to macrostructure, microstructure, joint properties and residual stresses in welded joints along with wearing of tool during welding of MMC. The observations of this study provide a basis for future research in the specified domain.     

Establishing relationships between mechanical properties of aluminium alloys and optimised friction stir welding process parameters

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process for joining aluminium alloys and is employed in aerospace, rail, automotive and marine industries. In FSW, the base metal properties such as yield strength, hardness and ductility control the plastic flow of the material under the action of a rotating non-consumable tool. The FSW process parameters such as, the tool rotational speed, the welding speed and the axial force play a major role in deciding the weld quality. In this investigation, FSW joints were made using six different grades of aluminium alloys (AA1100, AA2219, AA2024, AA6061, AA7039, and AA7075) using different levels of process parameters. Macrostructural analysis was carried out to identify the feasible working range of process parameters. The optimal welding conditions to attain maximum strength for each alloy were identified using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Empirical relationships were established between the base metal mechanical properties of aluminium alloys and optimised FSW process parameters. These relationships can be effectively used to predict the optimised FSW process parameters from the known base metal properties (yield strength, elongation and hardness).
