AbstractA fully coupled thermo-mechanical model is established to simulate the temperature variations and the material deformations in friction stir welding (FSW) of Ti-6Al-4V. The extracted data are used for further simulation on microstructural evolutions. A multi scale model, which consists of the grain growth model in grain cluster scale and the phase transformation model in one grain scale, is proposed. The nuclei of α and β phases, the recrystallizations and the grain growths are systematically investigated. Comparisons with experimental data and experimental observations can validate the newly proposed microstructural evolution model for Ti-6Al-4V. Results indicate that the volume fractions of α and β phases can be directly determined by the cooling rates in FSW process. With the increase of the rotating speed, the volume fraction of α phase is increased and β phase decreased due to the increase of welding temperature. With the decrease of the translational speed, the volume fraction of α phase gets bigger and β phase smaller. The acicular α grain can be generated on the β grain boundaries and grows along <1 1 0> direction on β substrate. The average length of α grain can be increased with longer cooling time and decreased with lower rotating speed or higher translational speed.

The weight reduction concept is most effective to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from vehicles, which also improves fuel efficiency. Amongst lightweight materials, magnesium alloys are attractive to the automotive sector as a structural material. Welding feasibility of magnesium alloys acts as an influential role in its usage for lightweight prospects. Friction stir welding (FSW) is an appropriate technique as compared to other welding techniques to join magnesium alloys. Field of friction stir welding is emerging in the current scenario. The friction stir welding technique has been selected to weld AZ91 magnesium alloys in the current research work. The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the produced FSW butt joints have been investigated. Further, the influence of post welding heat treatment (at 260 °C for 1 h) on these properties has also been examined. Post welding heat treatment (PWHT) resulted in the improvement of the grain structure of weld zones which affected the mechanical performance of the joints. After heat treatment, the tensile strength and elongation of the joint increased by 12.6 % and 31.9 % respectively. It is proven that after PWHT, the microhardness of the stir zone reduced and a comparatively smoothened microhardness profile of the FSW joint obtained. No considerable variation in the location of the tensile fracture was witnessed after PWHT. The results show that the impact toughness of the weld joints further decreases after post welding heat treatment.
