Abstract

Friction stir welding (FSW) is widely used to weld those materials that are difficult to weld through conventional welding processes. Present study employs coupled thermo-mechanical model to study the temperature profile and plastic deformation behaviour during FSW process by using a finite element analysis software, DEFORM-3D. Conventional and stepped FSW tools made of tool steel were used to butt-weld two thin plates of AA7075 for a comparison. The workpiece and tool are modelled as viscoplastic and rigid, respectively. Temperature-dependent thermal properties of the plate were used. Results showed that the highest temperatures were generated on the upper surface of the workpiece. Also, it was observed that use of stepped FSW tool resulted in high strain and temperature during FSW process that ultimately helped in improvement in weld joint.
