Abstract

The high-speed welding of friction stir welding can improve the production efficiency of the equipment. The orthogonal experiment method was used to study the high-speed welding process parameters of aluminum alloy. The mechanical properties of welded joints were tested, and the influence of process parameters on welding quality was analyzed. A data collection platform was designed, and the spindle axial force of the spindle and the three-directional force of the worktable were collected during the welding process. The relationship between the process force and process parameters was studied. From the perspective of macroscopic metallography, the causes of welding defects and the influence of process parameters are studied. The research results show that the mechanical properties of the welded joint are optimal and meet the requirements of welding quality when the process parameters are the tool rotational speed of 5000 rpm, the welding speed of 3000 mm/min, and the plunge depth of 0.25 mm.
