Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and Friction Welding (FW) are the most popular emerging solid welding techniques in aircraft and shipbuilding industries. FSW is mainly used for the joining of metal plates and FW is mainly used for the joining of rods. Both techniques are suitable for high strength material having less weight. These techniques are environmentally friendly and easy to execute. Hence, study on these techniques can contribute much to the field of green technology. There is wide variety of tool pin profiles such as cylindrical, cone and frustum and these are available without and with threaded portion. Considering the work piece materials, the feasibility of this process depends mainly on the properties. Present work deals with welding the copper to copper and brass to brass specimens using cylindrical friction stir weld tool. The weld zones of the specimens were further tested to study tensile strength, hardness and impact strength. A comparative analysis was done to know the impact of friction stir welding on brass and copper material. Based on the comparative analysis prediction can be done for the feasibility of this process to the investigated materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
