Abstract

Welding is a fabrication process where materials are fused together which may similar or dissimilar according to requirement. Welding is a systematic approach where dissimilar and similar materials are welded with an application of heat. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a welding method where metals are converting to a molten phase and with a desirable application of pressure leads to metal joining. FSW is a metal joining process used in an industry in a various way of applications. In this paper different properties of alloy material (Alloy of magnesium i.e. AZ91 and A31) are obtained; these specimens are welded by using FSW method of solid joining along with the use of taper tool. Specimens with dimensions of 150 mm by 50 mm in length and width respectively and has a thickness of 5 mm; which welded and different mechanical properties are determined by using Universal Testing Machine (U.T.M.). Before, testing of weld specimen using UTM; welded parts are cut in the form of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for evacuation of different mechanical properties. L9 orthogonal array and Design of Experiment (DOE) is used as a tool in experimental work to have better results. Also, to correlate between different experimental data; Analysis of Variance (ANNOVA) is used as a statistical tool.

Keywords: Analysis of Variance, Friction Stir Welding, Design of Experiment, Universal Testing Machine, Orthogonal Array
