Study On Fracture Behavior Of Aa5083–H111 Friction Stir Welded Join, Mohammed El Sayed Allam

Theses

The fracture behavior of friction stir welded joints of aluminum alloy 5083-H111 was studied in this investigation. Different samples of stir welded joints at variable tool rotational speeds (1660 rpm, 850 rpm, and 675 rpm), different traveling speeds (24, 42, 55, 74, and 98 mm/min), and different tool pin shapes (cylindrical, tapered and threaded) were studied to investigate the effect of process parameters on the joint strength/load-bearing capacity. A series of tensile tests using an MTS machine, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, and optical microscope analysis was conducted to study the effect of varying the rotational speed, traveling speed, and …
