Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to improve the mechanical properties of 6061 aluminium alloys by friction stir processing FSP , a solid-state technique for micro structural modification using the heat from a friction and stirring. The Aluminium alloy 6061 is widely used in the fabrication of lightweight structures with high strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. Welding is main fabrication method of 6061 alloy for manufacturing various engineering components. Friction stir welding FSW is a recently developed solid state welding process to overcome the problems encountered in fusion welding. This process uses a non-consumable tool to generate frictional heat on the abutting surfaces. The welding parameters, such as tool pin profile, rotational speed, welding speed and axial force, play major role in determining the micro structure and corrosion resistance of welded joint. In this work a central composite design with two different speeds, traverse speeds and Four tools has been used to minimize the experimental conditions. B. S. Bharadwaj | N.
