Multi-response optimization of process parameters in friction stir welded aluminum 6061-T6 alloy using Taguchi grey relational analysis

Abstract: Purpose Friction stir welding (FSW) is considered an environmentally sound process compared to traditional fusion welding processes. It is a complex process in which various parameters influence weld strength. Therefore, it is essential to identify the best parameter settings for achieving the desired weld quality. This paper aims to investigate the multi-response optimization of process parameters of the FSWed 6061-T6 aluminum (Al) alloy. Design/methodology/approach The input process parameters related to F… Show more

“…As illustrated in Figure 3, the dimensions were 190 mm long, 30 mm wide and 6 mm thick. In the case of the FSWed specimens, four different microstructure zones are found, namely, stir zone (SZ), thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) and base metal (BM) (Wang et al , 2020; Jain and Kumar, 2021). Different materials with different characteristics were used to depict different welding zones within the model.…”

“…Several studies have been published in which the fatigue life was predicted theoretically or by comparing it to experimental results (Adigio and Nangi, 2014; Singh et al , 2014; Ergenc et al , 2017; Gurubaran et al , 2017; Lesiuk et al , 2018). The ANSYS Workbench tool was also used in predicting the stress concentration areas (Jain and Kumar, 2021; Jain et al , 2013). The 3 D model, on the other hand, was created using computer-aided design (CAD) software before being integrated into the numerical software.…”

“…They concluded that the main effective parameter for the materials transfer mechanism under the pin was the welding speed. Jain and Kumar [ 36 ] conducted a multi-response optimisation of the process parameters in FSWed AW-6061-T6 aluminium alloy sheets using Taguchi grey relational analysis and ANOVA. The microhardness and UTS were used to evaluate weld quality.…”
