Abstract
This Article Considers Investigation Procedure for Friction Stir attachment in
aluminum Alloy, via management of tool Profiles. FSW process allows the benefits of
solid-state joining for fabrication of continuous linear welds, the most common form of
weld joint configurations. The key element of the method is that the specially designed
rotating tool that has two essential parts. The primary part is the profiled pin (or
probe) extending on the axis of the rotating part. The second a part of the tool is that
the Shoulder. The shoulder is that the working surface of the tool, normal to the axis of
rotation. The project aim is to weld two plates of aluminum Alloy using different tool
profiles and different welding parameter like Rotation speed, Traverse speed, Axial
load and to optimize the strength of joint.
Keywords: - Frictions stir welding, tool rpm, tool feed, tool tilt angle;
INTRODUCTION
FSW a cylindrical, body part tool with a profiled
probe is rotated and slowly plunged into the joint
line between two items butted along. Friction heat
is generated between the wear and tear resistant
welding tool and also the material of the work
pieces. The process is primarily used in industry to
join aluminium alloys of all grades, whether or not
solid, rolled or extruded. FSW has been shown to
weld aluminium alloy butt joints with a thickness
of between 0.3mm and 75mm during a single pass,
counting on the parent material used the machine
power and the structural stiffness of the work
piece.
Other materials that have been joined with FSW
include magnesium, titanium, copper, and steel
alloys, while plastics and metal matrix composites
(MMC) have also been explored. This method has
also been shown to be ready to join dissimilar
mixtures of these materials. FSW has been used
for a variety of applications across industries
starting from aerospace to shipbuilding and rail to
electronics as well as electron volt battery tray
FSW. No filler materials, flux or shielding gas
requirement for aluminium alloys. Friction stir
