Investigating the Welding Parameters in Friction Stir Welding of Yellow Brass 405-20

This research presents the numerical and empirical efforts to investigate effect of friction stir welding (FSW) parameters on weld temperature, strength, hardness for novel brass known as yellow 405-20. The approaches used measure temperature strength were studied first time 405-20 their validations via studies. Two models simulated including transient thermal analysis static structural analysis. Thermal distribution leading maximum during FSW was investigated both simulations experiments. Moreover, ultimate tensile namely measured numerically validated from its counterpart. Finally, empirically explore joint health. A 598 °C recorded, which much below melting point brass. Joint 228 MPa observed, is 83% base strength. Microscopic examination weldment revealed underlying mechanisms less compared parent material
