Unidirectional Friction Stir Welding of Similar and Dissimilar Metals by using EN19 Diamond and Square Tool Profile

Authors: Ch. Ranga Rao, B Srinivasulu

Abstract: Development of light materials is challenging. Numerous applications has been developed for creating light weight materials which can be used in Aircraft industry, automobile industry, satellite launching, mobile assembly applications. This can be achieved by Friction Stir Welding is a solid state joining process. In this process a rotating tool is plunged in to the work piece, because of the friction between tool and work piece a considerable heat is developed which is sufficient to melt the metal and join which is free from fumes, gases or oxides. An experiment has been conducted on a conventional milling machine for joining of Aluminum(6061-T6) with Brass and welded samples are tested found that Square profile has given better Tensile Strength and  Yield Strength but Diamond profile has given better Hardness.

Keywords: Friction stir welding (FSW),EN 19 Tool, Diamond and Square profile.
