Design and Experimental study of Friction stir welding of AA6061-T6 Alloy for optimization of welding parameters by using Lathe Machine (original) (raw)

welding process for joining metallic alloys and it is useful in serve industries for joining aluminium, magnesium and copper alloys. The various parameter such as rotational speed, transverse speed and tool tilt angle play important roles in FSW process and quality weld. The aim of this study is to know the relation between the effects of different transvers speed and tool profile on the weld quality of AA6061-T6 aluminium. The geometry of the pin tool along with the process parameters plays an important role in dictating the path that the material takes. The tool geometry was carefully chosen and fabricated to have a nearly flat welded interface pin profile. In this work, an attempt has been made to analyze the effect of various tool profiles on mechanical properties of aluminium alloy. Various tool profiles have been used to fabricate joints by using varying thickness work piece of Aluminium alloy. Numerical techniques particularly, the finite element method for the simulation of ...
