Friction stir welding parameter otimization using UTM testing and microstructure study

Friction Stir Welding

In the process of friction stir welding the material selection is important part from the base materials the other parameters are decided like tool material, rotational speed, down force, translational speed FSW can be used for joining many types of materials and also different material combinations. Most of the efforts done in FSW research and development have been performed to optimize the process for joining aluminum and its alloys. Most of the efforts done in FSW research and development have been performed to optimize the process for joining aluminum and its alloys. We are going to manufacture this base material and going through its FSW leads to observe its microscopic behavior. To evaluate the Mechanical Properties of welded joint of Aluminum alloy (Al 6061) specimen by adopting the Friction stir welding method of solid joining process by manufacturing the tool for welding the selected specimen and weld the same specimen by using oxy-acetylene gas welding process. Study the microstructure and Tensile strength analysis of welded joint specimen and evaluate the welding process is suitable for join the aluminum alloy 6061.[5]
