Numerical Prediction of Weld Quality in Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Materials

Objective of this research is to develop a finite element simulation of friction stir welding of Magnesium and Titanium alloys. In the present study, the transient analysis is performed in Ansys to simulate the friction stir welding process of Magnesium and Titanium alloys to predict the time varying temperature across the work piece. From the results of the transient analysis, Aim to find out various temperatures develop between tool and work piece because of friction during the Friction Stir Welding process.
