| Abstract Scope |
Friction stir welding process is a solid-state welding process which uses nonconsumable, rotating tool to regionally soften the material through developed heat as a result of plastic deformation and friction, also FSW tool is allowed to stir the surfaces of the joint. In this study, the main aim is to examine the behavior of 6000 series aluminum alloys in both similar and dissimilar welding to FSW process; for this purpose, AA 6005-T6 and AA 6082-T6 extruded aluminum plates were utilized. Two of the main parameters were analyzed with emphasis: Rotational speed and welding speed. According to test results showing the quality of the weld joint, the best optimum parameters for the decided sets of parameters are tried to be found; moreover, effect of the parameters on the mechanical and microstructural properties were tried to be understood. |
