Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of heat input on metallurgical and mechanical properties that have been investigated through experimental and numerical investigations. Two process parameters were taken to conduct the experiments. Thermocouples were used to measure temperature distributions. The heat generated during the friction stir welding (FSW) affected the grain refinements strongly, which were revealed with optical microscope (OM) micrographs. A three-dimensional model was developed to obtain the simulated temperature during the FSW of AA 2024-T4. The simulated temperature data was very close to that of the experimental data. It was observed that the heat generation depends on both transverse and rotational speed, and the peak temperature obtained was about 80% of the melting point of base metal. Additionally, tensile tests were performed for joint strength.
