Abstract |
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process for metals, non-metals and polymers. It is carried
out with the help of a specially designed, non-consumable tool. The heat required, for creating a softened region
at the faying surfaces, is generated by rotation of tool against the work piece material. Being a solid-state
welding process, it offers several advantages like inducing minimum effect on the mechanical properties of base
material, reduced shrinkage and distortion, no spatter or Ultra Violet (UV) radiations etc. However, developing
a sound weld requires an appropriate combination of several process parameters e.g. the design of tool, its
rotational and traversing speeds etc. To substantiate this aspect, an approach based on Response Surface
Methodology (RSM) is presented during this paper that optimizes the combination of process parameters while
investigating their effect on the mechanical properties of a friction stir welded butt joint configuration of
