Friction Bit Joining Of 5754 Aluminum To Dp980 Ultra-High Strength Steel: A Feasibility Study, Britney Weickum
Friction Bit Joining Of 5754 Aluminum To Dp980 Ultra-High Strength Steel: A Feasibility Study, Britney Weickum
Theses and Dissertations
In this study, the dissimilar metals 5754 aluminum and DP980 ultra-high strength steel were joined using the friction bit joining (FBJ) process. The friction bits were made using one of three steels: 4140, 4340, or H13. Experiments were performed in lap shear, T-peel, and cross tension configurations, with the 0.070" thick 5754 aluminum alloy as the top layer through which the friction bit cut, and the 0.065" thick DP980 as the bottom layer to which the friction bit welded. All experiments were performed using a computer controlled welding machine that was purpose-built and provided by MegaStir Technologies. Through a series …
Effect Of Process Parameter On Temperature Distribution, Microstructure, And Mechanical Properties Of Self-Reacting Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Alloy 6061-T651, Monica Adriana Torres
Effect Of Process Parameter On Temperature Distribution, Microstructure, And Mechanical Properties Of Self-Reacting Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Alloy 6061-T651, Monica Adriana Torres
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Self-reacting friction stir welding is the latest FSW tool configuration developed, it employs two shoulders--one on top and one on the bottom of the workpiece-- this tool configuration offers many advantages over conventional welding techniques. However, the current lack of information and specifications limits its understanding and application. This investigation analyzed the effect of process parameters on temperature distribution, microstructure evolution, and final mechanical properties of 6061-T651 SR-FS welds. A factorial experiment was carried out, in which three-process parameters were analyzed--rotational speed, travel speed, and tool plunge force-- three levels were analyzed for each parameter, except for a tool plunge …
