Friction Stir Welding of dissimilar Materials (AA2024 & AA6063) and Investigation of Mechanical Properties

Frictional heating system and permanent distortion under melting heat is a technique behind Friction stir welding (FSW) of the materials. Compared to arc welding, Friction stir welding has higher strength, good fatigue life, and lower distortion, less residual stress, low corrosion and non-defect. The main aim of the investigation is to examine the influence of mechanical characteristics of dissimilar aluminium alloys (AA2024 & AA6063aluminium alloy) in joining parameters. Properties like hardness and tensile testing helps us to investigate the mechanical performance of the dissimilar aluminium alloys welded through different welding speed, tool rotation speed and the applied axial load.
