In this study, age hardenable material Aluminum alloy Al-7075-T6 (aged) was investigated for weldability. Al-7075-T6 plates were subjected to Al-7075-0 heat treatment and were joined with different welding parameters by means of friction stir welding method. After Joining, the parts which were subjected to tensile and bending tests were examined. As a result of the studies, it was observed that...

This paper deals with Friction stir welding of AZ31B Mg alloy by using H13 Tool at different rotational speeds and welding speeds .Experiments were conducted according to L4 Orthogonal array which was suggested by Taguchi. Optimum parameters for optimum Tensile strength, Hardness and Ductility were found with the help of S/N ratios. Therefore optimization of input process parameter is required ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new welding process that may have significant advantages compared to the fusion processes as follow: joining of conventionally non-fusion weldable alloys, reduced distortion and improved mechanical properties of weldable alloys joints due to the pure solid-state joining of metals. In this paper, a three-dimensional model based on finite element analys...
