Influence Of Tool Shape On Mechanical Properties And Microstructure Of Friction Stir Welded Aluminium Alloys

Abstract

Most of the work has been dedicated to the study of flow of materials, the effect of welding parameters on the microstructure, mechanical properties and fatigue properties. but mechanical and microstructure properties of alluminium alloys AA6063  and AA 1100 are not describe with different parameters. Experiment conducted on the two aluminium alloys of AA1100 and AA 6063-T6. Plates of two alloys having 6 mm thickness were cut into the required size (150 mm x 60 mm) by power hacksaw. Rectangular butt joint configuration was prepared to fabricate the joints. For clamping the two plates specially fixture design has been made .Experiment was conducted at CTR Ludhiana by CNC milling machine with particular  parameters.
