Abstract

In a non-fusion joining procedure, friction stir welding is a relatively modern approach to join material without melting by the non-consumable uniquely tuned tool. During the welding, a rigid workpiece clamping is the most significant aspect of preventing lifting and dispersing. This poses several timely clamping issues. These problems are strongly interlinked with weld strength. Suitable work holding device is essential for normal and underwater friction stir welding. A fixture is designed to overcome the existing problems of the convention clamping systems. A fixture is made of D2 steel and 12050 steel material. The experimental validation found that this approach achieves superior weld on the visual inspections. The Autodesk Fusion360 package is adopted to model the fixture design. The job changing time was significantly reduced. The developed fixture is reliable on both welding conditions for making the proper weldment.
