Time Parameters

Friction stir welding of butt joints of aluminum alloys is considered. It is experimentally determined, that when temperature and time parameters are violated, defects in the form of discontinuities are localized at the boundary of the weld and the base metal, due to incompatibility of deformations of the weld metal and the adjacent base material.

The influence of tool control in non-linear friction stir welding (FSW) on mechanical properties of joints was investigated. FSW is widely applied to linear joints. It is impossible for five axis FSW machines, however, to keep all the FSW parameters in optimum conditions at non-linear welding. Non-linear FSW joints should be made by compromise with the order of priority for FSW parameters. The tensile test results of butt joints with rectangular change in welding direction on plate plane (L-shaped butt joints) with various welding parameter change. It was found that turn to the retreating side is encouraged when welding direction change. And the method of zero inclination tool angle is effective at non-linear and plane welding.

Microstructural Studies

As compared to normal Friction Stir Welding (FSW) joints, the Underwater Friction Stir Welding (UFSW) has been reported to be obtainable in consideration of enhancement in mechanical properties. A 5052-Aluminum Alloy welded joints using UFSW method with plate thickness of 6 mm were investigated, in turn to interpret the fundamental justification for enhancement in mechanical properties of material through UFSW. Differences in microstructural features and mechanical properties of the joints were examined and discussed in detail. The results indicate that underwater FSW has reported lower hardness value in the HAZ and higher hardness value in the intermediate of stir zone (SZ). The average hardness value of underwater FSW increases about 53% greater than its base material (BM), while 21% greater than the normal FSW. The maximum micro-hardness value was three times greater than its base material (BM), and the mechanical properties of underwater FSW joint is increased compared to the normal FSW joint. Besides, the evaluated void-area fraction division in the SZ of underwater FSW joint was reduced and about one-third of the base material (BM). The approximately estimated average size of the voids in SZ of underwater FSW also was reduced to as low as 0.00073 mm2, when compared to normal FSW and BM with approximately estimated average voids size of 0.0024 mm2 and 0.0039 mm2, simultaneously.

Introduction. Friction stir welding and processing are almost identical processes of severe plastic deformation at elevated temperatures. These technologies differ mainly in the purpose of its use: the formation of a hardened surface layer or producing a welded joint. However, it is known that both during welding and during processing of heavy gauge workpieces temperature gradients occur. As a result, the conditions of adhesive interaction, material plastic flow, and the formation of the stir zone change as compared to thin-sheet workpieces with fundamentally different heat dissipation rates. In this connection, the purpose of the work is to determine the regularities of the structure formation and stability of the mechanical properties in different directions in the material of 35-mm-thick aluminum-magnesium alloy samples produced by friction stir welding/processing. Research Methodology. The technique and modes of friction stir welding and processing of AA5056 alloy workpieces with a thickness of 35 mm are described. Data on the equipment used for mechanical tests and structural research are given. Results and discussion. The data obtained show the excess mechanical properties of the processing zone material over the base metal ones in all studied directions. Material structure heterogeneities after friction stir welding/processing of heavy gauge workpieces have no determining effect on the stir zone properties. At the same time, there is no clear correlation between the tensile strength values and the load application direction, nor is there any significant difference in mechanical properties depending on the location of the samples inside the stir zone. The average ultimate tensile strength values in the vertical, transverse, and longitudinal directions are 302, 295 and 303 MPa, respectively, with the yield strength values of 155, 153 and 152 MPa, and the relative elongation of 27.2, 27.5, 28.7 %.
