Abstract

The relatively new and innovative welding technique known as friction stir welding (FSW) has found widespread application in the automotive, railway, and aircraft industries. Due to engineering and financial considerations, welding of dissimilar metals is frequently carried out in these industries. During the friction stir welding process, three tool rotational speeds—910, 1500, and 2280 rpm—were utilized, while the welding speed remained constant at 30 mm/min. Several experimental works, including fractography, tensile tests, and observations of the microstructure, were carried out following welding. Results showed that ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) expanded as the tool rotational speed was expanded and the best UTS and YS, typically 228 MPa and 156 MPa at the speed of 2280 rpm. The precipitation of AA6061-T6 in the stir zone (SZ) and the increased degree of mixing were linked to the improved weld strengths.

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is an innovative solid-state welding technique, especially for joints of unweldable metals or even dissimilar metals. In this study, FSW processes of two dissimilar metals, namely AA2024-O and AA6061-T6, were done at different tool rotational speeds of 910, 1500, and 2280 rpm whilst the welding speed was kept constant at 30 mm/min. This research was intended to improve the mechanical properties of the dissimilar FSW joints. A cylindrical pin-equipped tool was selected, and it was tilted at an angle of 2o during welding. Afterwards, microstructural observations, microhardness, and tensile tests were done. Results demonstrated that increasing tool rotation increased the peak temperature, accompanied by better mixing of different metals in the weld nugget zone (WNZ), hence resulting in improved microstructural homogeneity. The hardness distributions for all dissimilar FSW joints were characterized by the appearance of a high hardness region in the central part of WNZ, resulting in a peak of hardness. It was obtained that the FSW joint at 1500 rpm revealed the best ultimate tensile strength (UTS) around 170.38 MPa, which could be a result of precipitation hardening combined with a better homogeneity in WNZ.
