 INTRODUCTION
Friction stir welding is also a solid state welding process. It overcomes many of the problems
associated with conventional joining techniques. FSW is low energy input, capable of producing
very high strength welds in wide range of materials at lower cost. FSW process takes place in the
solid phase below the melting point of the materials to be joined.
 INTRODUCTION
Two work pieces are brought together under load with one part rapidly revolving. Frictional heat is
developed at the interface until the material becomes plastic, at which time the rotation is stopped and
the load is increased to consolidate the joint.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF FSW

 FSW a cylindrical, shouldered tool with a profiled probe is rotated and slowly plunged into the
joint line between two pieces butted together.
 Frictional heat is generated between the wear resistant welding tool and the material of the
work pieces.
 This heat is without reaching the melting point and allows traversing of the tool along the
weld line.
 The plasticized material is transferred the front edge of the tool to back edge of the tool probe
and it’s forged by the intimate contact of the tool shoulder and pin profile.
 OBJECTIVES

1. Fusion of aluminium alloy using Friction Stir Welding.

2. Studying the effect of FSW process parameters (tool rotation speed, welding
speed and axial force) on tensile strength, hardness and microstructure.

3. Testing the Performance Parameter after FSW.

4. Optimizing the FSW process parameters to attain maximum tensile strength

using Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
