| Abstract: | In this study, friction stir welding window for AA6061-T6 aluminium alloy based on tool rotational speed and weld speed was developed. The formation of friction stir welding/processing zone has been analysed macroscopically and microscopically. Fracture locations of the joints were also analysed using scanning electron microscope. It has been experimentally found that the joint fabricated using tool rotational speed of 1000 r/min and weld speed of 40 mm/min (obtained from friction stir welding window), tool shoulder diameter of 24 mm with tapered cylindrical pin profile and the ratio of shoulder to pin diameter with value 3 showed better mechanical properties compared to other joints. The developed welding window will be used as ready reckoner to select appropriate rotational and welding speed to fabricate defect free joints. |
