Abstract

Aluminium 5083 alloys were mainly used for naval based applications because of better corrosion resistance feature. Similarly aluminium 6082 alloy being a structurally significant material found its applications in construction sector. Fusion welding of these two heterogeneous alloys is bit hard, since it evolves many defects. Present Investigation deals with two cases of distinct alloys through FSW process. Case 1 represents 31 experimental trails performed by 5 various tool pin geometry. Case 2 Emphasized on 20 trails considering single profiled tool. Testing carried out for both the cases on Response surface methodology and ANOVA, to determine adequacy of the model suggested. Experimentation revealed a critical parameter such as taper square tool of 18mm shoulder dia possessing at rotational speed of 1000 rpm and welding speed of 90 mm/min, tensile strength exhibits significant response. Offsetting the tool resulted in less significant contributions on tensile properties. Tilt angle reported considerable results with in strengthening the mechanical characteristics. Shoulder diameter contributed for considerable improvement of overall strength of the joint strength. Further, rotational speeds of the tool played influential role in producing better tensile properties. Response graphs indicated that tensile elongation was initially high at low rotational speeds, decreases when Rotational speeds increase.

Keywords: FSW, tensile strength, elongation, tool offset, shoulder diameter.
