Of typical welding techniques, to employ the heat for joining process is the most commonly used welding process. But there arise difficulties when this process is applied to light weight alloys such as Aluminium alloy. In this respect, Friction Stir Welding(FSW), a solid-state joining process, is the most effective welding technique with significant potential for various industrial applications. In this study, the characteristics of lapping FSW Al 5052 alloy are shown under a variety of welding parameters such as the rotation speed of FSW tool and welding velocity. Conclusively, the welding properties of lapping FSW Al 5052 were found to be dominated by the deformation of non-joining area near the welding nugget rather than other factors such as the thermal input.

1991년 영국의 TWI(The Welding Institute)에서 처음 FSW(Friction Stir Welding)가 개발된 이후로 전 세계적으로 관심이 증가하여 꾸준한 연구가 계속되고 있다. FSW공정은 특수하게 설계된 용접툴(tool)을 특정한 회전수로 회전시키면서 용접하고자 하는 재료의 용접라인에 삽입하여 용접에 필요한 마찰열과 소성변형을 발생시키고, 그 후 용접라인을 따라 툴을 이동시킴으로써 용접이 이루어지는 매우 간단한 공정이다. (중략)

Owing to high oil prices and environmental issues, the automobile industry has conducted considerable research and made large investments to manufacture a high-efficiency automobiles. In the case of automobile wheels in which a lightweight material is used to increase the fuel efficiency a mold is used to increase the production efficiency; however, the use of the molding method for this purpose is very expensive. Therefore an automobile wheel consists of two parts. In this study a two-piece automobile wheel is manufactured by the friction stir welding(FSW) of Al6061-T6 to reduce the manufacturing cost and process complexity. The FSW welding tool geometry and rotational speed, and the feed rate are key factors that significantly affect the weld strength. Therefore tensile tests were conducted on specimens produced using various welding conditions, and the optimal FSW welding conditions were applied to manufacture aluminum wheels. To ensure reliability, prototype aluminum wheels were manufactured and their mechanical reliability and safety were evaluated using a durability test, fatigue durability test, and impact test. Through this study, aluminum wheel production was made possible using the FSW method.

This experimental study investigated friction stir welding (FSW) of the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) T-joint in the presence of various nano-silica levels. This study aim to handle the drawbacks of the friction stir welding (FSW) of an ABS T-joint with various quantity of nanoparticles and assess the performance of nanoparticles in the welded joint. Moreover, the relationship between the nanoparticle quantity and FSW was analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM) Box-Behnken design. The input parameters were the tool rotation speed (400, 600, 800 rpm), the transverse speed (20, 30, 40 mm/min), and the nano-silica level (0.8, 1.6, 2.4 g). The tensile strength of the prepared specimens was determined by the universal testing machine. Silica nanoparticles were used to improve the mechanical properties (the tensile strength) of ABS and investigate the effect of various FSW parameters on the ABS T-joint. The results of Box-Behnken RSM revealed that sound joints with desired characteristics and efficiency are fabricated at tool rotation speed 755 rpm, transverse speed 20 mm/min, and nano-silica level 2.4 g. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed the crucial role of silica nanoparticles in reinforcing the ABS T-joint. The SEM images also indicated a decrease in the nanoparticle size by the tool rotation, leading to the filling and improvement of seams formed during FSW of the ABS T-joint.

Extruded and cast plates of AZ type magnesium alloys were successfully joined by friction stir welding (FSW). Effect of FSW conditions on the formation of the defect was revealed in relation to tool rotation speed and specimen travel speed. Magnesium alloy with higher aluminum content became difficult to be joined and the optimum condition without defect was restricted into narrow condition range. The structure of the stirred zone was a fine-grained recrystallized structure even in the case of cast AZ91D. FSW joint had better mechanical properties than those of GTA welded joint. Especially the toughness of the stirred zone increased more than that of the base metal.

Al-alloy is utilized widely as a light-weight material to an automobile, a vessel and many kind of equipment, due to the light-weight and its characteristics that is a good tensile strength, elongation and tenacity for bearing heavy load and weight. Al-alloy has the good property of hot working, cold working and corrosion-resistant. But the exiting fusion welding by using Al has some economical and technical problems, but on the other hand, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) that is new joining method can settle the disadvantages that occur to the fusion welding and Is being applied and extended into the various industry fields.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a complex process with several mutually interdependent parameters. A slight difference from known settings may lead to imperfections in the stirred zone. These inhomogeneities affect on the mechanical properties of the FSWed joints. In order to prevent the failure of the welded joint it is necessary to detect the most critical defects non-destructive. Especially critical defects are wormhole and lack of penetration (LOP), because of the difficulty of detection. Online thermography is used process-accompanying for defect detecting. A thermographic camera with a fixed position relating to the welding tool measures the heating-up and the cool down of the welding process. Lap joints with sound weld seam surfaces are manufactured and monitored. Different methods of evaluation of heat distribution and intensity profiles are introduced. It can be demonstrated, that it is possible to detect wormhole and lack of penetration as well as surface defects by analyzing the welding and the cooling process of friction stir welding by passive online thermography measurement. Effects of these defects on mechanical properties are shown by tensile testing.
