Analysis of process parameters for Friction Stir Welding Al 5086-HE15 With Al 6061-HE20 Joints

摘要

Solid state welding is procedure is currently viewed as potential joining process. In this work dissimilar materials of aluminum combinations are used to produce quality weld joints using Friction stir welding. Four set of tool geometry is used with varying the speed and feed with levels of each. During the joining process, the temperatures are measured the at stir zone using infrared thermography. The hardness is measured at the weld zone. The results show variance among the all the tools shapes.
