In the present study, we attempt to use powder of glass spheres filler and reinforce material in HDPE to produce composite structure and then evaluate its mechanical properties to study the effect of welding parameters and filler content on mechanical properties of HDPE. The effect of welding parameters (tool rotational speed, the plunge depth and the dwell time) on friction stir spot welding properties of high density polyethylene/glass spheres (hollow) polymer composites sheets was studied.

Welding Processes

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a very important part of conventional friction stir welding (FSW) which can be a replacement for riveted assemblies and resistance spot welding. This technique provides high quality joints compared to conventional welding processes. Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a new technology adopted to join various types of metals such as titanium, aluminum, magnesium. It is also used for welding polymer materials which are difficult to weld by the conventional welding process. In various industrial applications, high density polyethylene (HDPE) becomes the most used material. The parameters and mechanical properties of the welds are the major problems in the welding processes. In this paper, we have presented a contribution in finite element modeling of the friction stir spot welding process (FSSW) using Abaqus as a finite element solver. The objective of this paper is to study the HDPE plates resistance of stir spot welding joints (FSSW). First, we show the experimental tests results of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plates assembled by friction stir spot welding (FSSW). Three-dimensional numerical modeling by the finite element method makes it possible to determine the best representation of the weld joint for a good prediction of its behavior. Comparison of the results shows that there is a good agreement between the numerical modeling predictions and the experimental results.

In this study, two different polymer materials were used. In the joints made with friction stir spot welding, firstly (PP/PP and HDPE/HDPE) and then different materials (PP/HDPE, HDPE/PP) joining processes were carried. The influence of the tool rotational speed and the stirring time on joint formation and weld strength were determined. The temperature of the liquid welding materials varies according to the materials to be combined. High weld strengths were obtained at the friction stir spot welding of similar plastic sheets. The highest weld strengths were obtained in PP-PP welds. Low weld strengths were obtained at the friction stir spot welding of dissimilar plastic sheets because of immiscible and incompatible blends formed during the welding operation. The lowest weld strengths were obtained in PP-HDPE welds. The chemical composition and the phase morphology of the blends, the mechanical scission occurrence and the welding residual stresses determine the strength of the welds.

Technology of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a relatively new technique for joining metal. In some cases on Aluminum joining, FSW gives better results compared with the arc welding processes, including the quality of welds and less distortion. The purpose of this study is to analyze the parameters effect of high speed tool rotation onmicro Friction Stir Spot Welding(μFSSW) to theshear strengthof welds. In this case, Aluminum material A1100, with thickness of 0.4 mm was used. Tool material of HSS material was shaped with micro grinding process. The spindle speed was fixed at 30000 rpm. Tool shoulder diameter was 3 mm, and a length of pin was 0.7 mm. The parameter variations used in this study were the variable of pin diameter (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 2.5 mm), a variable ofplunge speed(2 mm/min, 4 mm/min, 6 mm/min), and the variable ofdwell time(2 seconds, 4 seconds, 6 seconds). Where the variation of these parameters will affect to the mechanical properties of welds (as response) was theshear strength.Response Surface Methods(RSM) was used to analyze μFSSW parameters with theshear strengthof welds. From the result of experiment and analysis, it is shown that the important welding parameters in high speed μFSSW process are pin diameter and plunge speed.

A lap welding experiment of DP590 steel and 6061 aluminum plate is carried out by using Heating Friction Stir Spot Welding (HFSSW) to study the influence of welding parameters on the forming quality. The results show that a lap joint with better forming can be obtained for the dissimilar metal of steel and aluminum. Under the condition that the rotating speed of the stirring tool is 1000r/min, the penetration depth, 0.2mm, the dwell time, 90s, the welding pressure, 0.2Mp, and the flow rate of cooling air, 20L/min, the forming quality of the surface of the joint line is good & bright, and the exit hole is also smaller. The mechanism of heat production is revealed in the following: the main heat is produced by the friction between the stirring tool shoulder and the welded part & between the probe and the welded part as well as by the latent heat resulted from the plastic deformation of the material in joint line during welding.
