Mechanical and Electrical Characterization of Friction Stir Welded Copper and Aluminum Alloys

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding, often known as FSW, is a progressive solid state welding process that can be used to combine materials that are similar to one another as well as those that are completely unlike. The motivation behind this exploration is to provide an in-depth evaluation of FSW, with an accentuation on its applications in aluminum alloy welding. The fundamental ideas of FSW, the devices and hardware expected for the interaction, the benefits and drawbacks of FSW, and the different angles that effect weld quality will be generally explored. This paper covers a review that was directed to upgrade input boundaries to expand the rigidity, miniature hardness, and electrical resistivity. The micro hardness dissemination was most elevated in the weld joint's base zone, with lower readings in the center locale and middle readings on the top surface.
