of FSW joint making process
alloys are applicable both fusion and solid-state joining processes such as brazing,
riveting, bolting, and soldering [7].
Since many of the investigators have done an experimental examination of dissimilar aluminum alloys that deal with microstructural behavior and mechanical properties is involved the materials joining process subjected to the FSW process with
correlating the final values [6, 7]. Hence, in this present work, there is a detailed
examination of the material joining process and parameters depended on the FSW
joining process, because of the way of choosing the optimum process parameter
range for the strength of the weld joint. The various FSW process variables used
in this investigation were selected based on the previous experimental studies and
Literature Survey that has been done so far [7]. Finally, the present work the select
process parameters were used to Taguchi method for identified the optimal range
involved in the material joining technique, and the final results are compared with
the experimental data for getting successive weld joints.
2 Material and Experimental Setup
The size of 100mmx50mmx5mm rolled aluminum alloy plates (AA6082-AA7075) is
used for this experimental investigation. Initially, 6 mm aluminum plates are resized
in the required FSW process with help of milling machine and power hacksaw cutting
machine. A vertical milling machine arrangement was used to fabricate FSW weld
joints at SA Engineering College, Chennai. The manual top clamps are used to hold
workpieces on the top surface of the work table. A non-consumable rotating Highspeed steel tool material was selected to make weld joints with different pin shapes.
The dimension for the FSW tool specified like shoulder diameter, pin diameter, and
length of the tool pin.
The weld joints of AA6082-AA 7075 before and after conditions, different FSW
tools are illustrated in Fig. 2. The mechanical values of the parent material are listed
in Table 1.
The material chemical composition and mechanical properties of AA6082AA7075 alloys are entirely different. The FSW rotational tool creates frictional heat
