Investigation of Mechanical and Numerical Properties of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) for 3003 - H14 Aluminum Alloys

Abstract

In this paper, friction stir welding (FSW) has been focused on 3003 - H14Al alloy (AA).The welded specimens have been organized. Under dissimilar rotational rates of 1200, 1400 and 1600 RPM with feeding rate of welding 30 mm/min, mechanical features of joints like tensile strength and Micro-hardness have been investigated. In relation to measured fallouts, the machine-driven features of joints have been intensely influenced by dint of welding limitation. The finest con sequences of gained welding under 30 mm/min and 1400 RPM for welding velocity and rotating rate respectively. Accordingly, the efficiency gets 84% with respect to ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of parental metal. For 3003 - H14-W Aluminum alloy, this study has established the finite element simulation of FSW. Numerical simulations to identify the association of those factors with peak temperature have generated the investigations of specific heat, thermal conductivity and density. Simulation model has been verified with investigational consequences. The simulated consequences have agree with the experimentation consequences.

Study of the Correlation between the Process Parameters and the Mechanical Characteristics of the Aluminum Sheets Welded by the FSW Process

“…The value of the stiffness in areas HAZ, TMAZ and NZ decreases from the value in BM due to the decrease in the displacement density resulting from FSW. We notice from the figure 9 that the value of the hardness decreases from the area HAZ in a direction TMAZ in various measurements until it reaches a minimum value and then rises in a direction NZ and this is due to the recrystallization of the grains because of the welding process (Abdulrehman et al, 2020). We also note a slight decrease in hardness value in the area NZ with an increase in welding speed (Merzoug et al, 2018).…”

Experimental based determination and analysis of mechanical properties of AA 3003 alloy welded with friction stir lap welding process

“…We notice from the Figure 4 that the value of the hardness decreases from the HAZ region in a direction TMAZ region in various measurements until it reaches a minimum value. Afterwards itrises in a direction SZ which is due to the recrystallization of the grains because of the welding process [16]. We also note a slight decrease in hardness value in the area SZ with an increase in welding speed [17].…”

Characterization of friction stir welded AA 3003-H24 aluminum alloy plates

“…[9]; welded joints were produced using underwater FSW applications to investigate the welding characteristic using a conical screwed pin. Other studies [10][11][12][13][14] were performed to investigate the effect of FSW parameters on mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of FS welded joints. The researchers used cylindrical, conical threaded pin, cylindrical and conical unthreaded pin geometry and investigated the effect of process parameters on microstructural and mechanical evolution of FS welded joints [4,9,[11][12][13][14][15].…”
