Microhardness Profile

The temperature influence on the microstructure evolution and microhardness of the age-hardenable aluminium alloy 6082 T6 during friction stir welding was defined. In order to achieve this aim, the thermocycles calculated using the developed 3D Finite Element Model were physically simulated on the Gleeble-3800 in the points which located in the different zones of the weld. The microstructure in the chosen points after Gleeble testing was investigated as well as the microhardness was measured. The results were consequently compared with the relevant results obtained after friction stir welding. It was shown that the microstructure and microhardness profile are influenced not only by temperature but by deformation. The increase in hardness in different zones after FSW compared to Gleeble testing can be explained by the grain refinement in the nugget zone as well as the hardening precipitate distribution along the weld which can occur more rapidly due to the deformation influence.

The Finite Element Model

Friction stir welding (FSW) material flow has an important influence on weld formation. The finite element model of the FSW process was established. The axial force and the spindle torque of the welding process were collected through experiments. The feasibility of the finite element model was verified by a data comparison. The temperature field of the welding process was analyzed hierarchically. It was found that the temperature on the advancing side is about 20 °C higher than that on the retreating side near the welding seam, but that the temperature difference between the two sides of the middle and lower layers was decreased. The particle tracking technique was used to study the material flow law in different areas of the weld seam. The results showed that part of the material inside the tool pin was squeezed to the bottom of the workpiece. The material on the upper surface tends to move downward under the influence of the shoulder extrusion, while the material on the lower part moves spirally upward under the influence of the tool pin. The material flow amount of the advancing side is higher than that of the retreating side. The law of material flow reveals the possible causes of the welding defects. It was found that the abnormal flow of materials at a low rotation speed and high welding speed is prone to holes and crack defects. The forming reasons and material flow differences in different regions are studied through the microstructure of the joint cross section. The feasibility of a finite element modeling and simulation analysis is further verified.

Finite Element Software

The friction stir welded superplastic forming of AA6061-T6 sheet has been numerically analyzed based on the experimental and finite element software. A selected range of tool rotating speeds of 500, 1000 and 2000 rpm was used for friction stir welding. At constant temperature of 550O C and constant pressure of 0.4 Mpa, superplastic forming experiments was performed using free forming die for the friction stir welded sheets. A detailed 3D element type study has been performed in the finite element analysis. The proposed finite element model has been validated in comparison with experimental data. The results are found to have reasonably good agreement between simulations and experiment. The effect of constant pressure, coefficient of friction, strainrate and strain-rate sensitivity has been studied using the proposed finite element model.
