Surface Hardness of Friction Stir Welded AA6063 Pipe

Abstract: Abstract. The external surface hardness of friction stir welded aluminum alloy 6063 pipe joint was investigated in this paper. The 89mm of outside diameter pipe with 5mm of wall thickness was used as test pipe piece for this experiment on closed butt joint configuration by utilising Bridgeport 2216 CNC milling machine and orbital clamping unit specially designed to cater for this task and function. Several welded samples were produced on varying process parameters which were successfully joined by using a non-… Show more

“…Similarly to linear FSW, milling machines [38,[48][49][50][51], custom-built or dedicated FSW machines [52], and industrial robots [53][54][55] are the three kinds of machines that seem viable to conduct OFSW, according to the literature.…”

“…They observed that the tensile strength of FSW joints for the fabricated pipes and cylinders varies in the range between 114 and 132 MPa, depending on the tool rotation speeds during the welding process. Ismail and Awang 20 performed an experimental study on the surface hardness of AA6063 aluminium alloy cylinders manufactured by FSW technique. Lim et al 21 investigated mechanical properties of steel pipes welded by hybrid FSW + root arc weld approach.…”

“…Indeed, for each type of geometry, material and welding position, especial FSW tool and fixture are required, and this issue is considered as a major limitation of FSW technique. Accordingly, different fixtures have been utilized in recent years to join pipes, thin cylinders and tubes in butt and lap welding position 19–25 . In addition to the well‐known parameters and basic characteristic specifications such as tensile and ultimate strength, hardness and microstructure studies, study of fracture and crack growth resistance in cylinders fabricated by the orbital FSW method is an important issue, because such pipes and thin cylindrical shells can be subjected to complex fatigue and variable loads during their service life, and therefore, good fracture toughness and high resistance against crack growth are key parameters that should be achieved for a high‐quality orbital FSW product.…”

“…Another study reported the welding of AA6063 pipes with v ranging from 900 to 1500 rpm and v from 72 to 144 mm/min. [5][6][7] The welded sample was characterized by joint strength and hardness. The maximum and minimum joint strength efficiency were observed to be 54% and 45% with 1500 rpm and 108 mm/min, and 900 rpm and 72 mm/min, respectively.…”
