Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium Alloy Sheets

Abstract:

Aluminium alloy 7050 in a T7451 temper was friction-stir welded (FSW) to investigate the effects of different process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties. Butt joints were obtained in 10mm thick-sheets, keeping a constant rotational speed of 550 rpm. Weld power and torque were recorded for each weld in order to obtain the heat input of the process, since the final properties of the welds are strongly related to this variable. The joints were characterized by optical microscopy and microhardness indentation through the stir zone (SZ), thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), and heat affected zone (HAZ) at different cross section heights. The processing of FSW, the microstructure in FSW alloys and the factors influencing weld quality are introduced.
