| Abstract Scope |
In friction stir welding (FSW) of steels, extraordinary durability is required for tools at high temperature during the welding. Therefore, high-melting point metals and ceramics are usually used as tool materials for FSW of steels; however, some problems still remain in cost and durability. On the other hand, if the tool temperature can be kept lower than that of the material around tool during welding, it can be expected that a relatively inexpensive steel tool can be applied as the tool material for FSW of steels. Therefore, in this study, to demonstrate a possibility of the FSW of steel using a steel tool, cold-rolled steel sheets were FSWed using a FSW tool made of tool steel (JIS SKD61), which is cooled by flowing water through the center channel. It is noteworthy that the steel sheets were successfully joined without tool failure. |
