Modeling friction stir welding process of aluminum alloys

The friction stir welding (FSW) process of aluminum alloys has been modeled using a two-dimensional Eulerian formulation. Velocity field and temperature distribution are strongly coupled and solved together using a standard finite element scheme. A scalar state variable for hardening is also integrated using a streamline integration method along streamlines. A viscoplastic constitutive equation to consider plastic flow and strength variations was implemented for the process modeling. Precipitates inside AA6061 alloys are sensitive to elevated temperatures and affect strength evolution with temperature. The overall effects of the precipitate variations with temperature on strength were reflected using temperature-dependent material parameters. The material parameters of constitutive equations were obtained from isothermal compression tests of various temperatures and strain rates. The effects of FSW process conditions on heating and hardening were investigated mainly near the tool pin. The microhardness distribution of the weld zone was compared with the prediction of strength. In addition, crystallographic texture evolutions were also predicted and compared with the experimental results.     

A thermal model of friction stir welding in aluminum alloys

A thermal model of friction stir welding was developed that utilizes a new slip factor based on the energy per unit length of weld. The slip factor is derived from an empirical, linear relationship observed between the ratio of the maximum welding temperature to the solidus temperature and the welding energy. The thermal model successfully predicts the maximum welding temperature over a wide range of energy levels but under predicts the temperature for low energy levels for which heat from plastic deformation dominates. The thermal model supports the hypothesis that the relationship between the temperature ratio and energy level is characteristic of aluminum alloys that share similar thermal diffusivities. The thermal model can be used to generate characteristic temperature curves from which the maximum welding temperature in an alloy may be estimated if the thermal diffusivity, welding parameters and tool geometry are known.     

Experimental study on temperature distributions within the workpiece during friction stir welding of aluminum alloys

This study aims to experimentally explore the thermal histories and temperature distributions in a workpiece during a friction stir welding (FSW) process involving the butt joining of aluminum 6061-T6. Different types of thermocouple layout are devised to measure the temperature histories during FSW at different locations on the workpiece in the welding direction. Successful welding processes are achieved by appropriately controlling the maximum temperatures during the welding process. Regression analyses by the least squares method are used to predict the temperatures at the joint line. A second-order polynomial curve is found to best fit the experimental temperature values in the width direction of the workpiece. The Vickers hardness test is conducted on the welds to evaluate the hardness distribution in the thermal-mechanical affected zone, the heat affected zone, and the base metal zone. Tensile tests are also carried out, and the tensile strength of the welded product is compared with that of the base metal.

Numerical simulation of friction stir spot welding process for aluminum alloys

Thermo-mechanical simulations of the Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) processes were performed for AA5083-H18 and AA6022-T4, utilizing commercial Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Volume Method (FVM) codes, which are based on Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations, respectively. The Lagrangian explicit dynamic FEM code, PAM-CRASH, and the Eulerian Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) FVM code, STAR-CD, were utilized to understand the effect of pin geometry on weld strength and material flow under the unsteady state condition. Using FVM code, material flow patterns near the tool boundary were analyzed to explain weld strength difference between welds by a cylindrical pin and welds by a triangular pin, whereas the frictional energy concept using the FEM code had a limited capacity to explain the weld strength difference.

Plastic deformation and thermal history as well as microstructure evolution of friction stir welded 6111-T4 aluminum alloys were numerically simulated. Material and heat flow during friction stir welding were calculated considering the momentum balance equation and energy balance equation under the steady state condition.

Finally, the distribution of precipitates was used to calculate the mechanical properties of the weld zone, particularly the yield stress, based on the dislocation theory. The results compared well with the measurements, suggesting that the method can be applicable to predict yield stress.
