Influence of tool parameters on the tensile properties of friction stir welded aluminium 5083 and 6082 alloys

Tilt angle impact on strength, microstructure of friction stir welded AZ91CMg plates

“…Despite the abundant investigations carried out with respect to FSW [24][25][26][27], most of the experiments have restricted themselves in investigating the impact of the parameters including speed of traverse, speed of rotation of the tool, force exerted axially, employed tool pin's geometry, etc., on the characterisation of attained joint's microstructures and their mechanical related properties only. Only limited researchers [28][29][30][31][32] have taken into account, the impact of the angle of tilt of the employed tool during the FSW process. For example, Kumar et al [28], declared that, during FSW of dissimilar alloys of Al (namely 6082 and 5083 alloys), the angle of tilt of the employed tool has a notable impact on the mechanical properties of the welded joints.…”

Likewise, it was reported by Seighalani et al [30] that, during the joining of titanium plates by FSW, the angle of tilt of the employed tool played an inevitable in fabricating flawfree titanium joints.…”

A Comparative Analysis between the Transverse and Longitudinal Samples of the FSW AA5083/AA6082 Joints

“…This has compromised some of the mechanical properties like tensile strength and microhardness. Kumar and Ramana [18] have investigated the influence of tool parameters on the tensile strength of AA5083/AA6082 dissimilar joints. The tensile analysis was conducted on the sampled samples perpendicular to the welding direction.…”
