Friction Stir Welding : Dissimilar Aluminium Alloys

Description

The evolution of mechanical properties and its characterization is important to the weld quality whose further analysis requires  mechanical property and microstructure correlation. Present book addresses the basic understanding of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process that includes effect of various process parameters on the quality of welded joints. It discusses about various problems related to the welding of dissimilar aluminium alloys including influence of FSW process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of such alloys. As a case study, effect of important process parameters on joint quality of dissimilar aluminium alloys is included Content: Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page Contents Preface Authors Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Demand of Aluminum Alloys in Industries 1.3 Joining of Aluminum Alloys 1.4 Joining of Dissimilar Aluminum Alloys 1.5 FSW of Aluminum Alloys 1.6 FSW of Dissimilar Aluminum Alloys 1.7 Rationale and Importance of Dissimilar Aluminum Welding Using FSW 1.8 Benefits of This Text Chapter 2: Friction Stir Welding Process 2.1 Introduction to Solid State Welding 2.2 Principle of Solid State Welding 2.3 Introduction to FSW Technique 2.4 Historical Background of FSW 2.5 FSW Process 2.6 Advantages and Disadvantages of the FSW Process 2.6.1 Advantages 2.6.2 Disadvantages of the FSW Process 2.7 Applications of FSW 2.7.1 Shipbuilding and Marine Industries 2.7.2 Aerospace Industry 2.7.3 Railway Industry 2.7.4 Automobile 2.7.5 Construction Industry 2.7.6 Electrical Industry 2.8 Commercialization of FSW 2.8.1 Shipbuilding 2.8.2 Aerospace 2.8.3 Railways 2.8.4 Automobile 2.9 FSW Tool Material 2.10 FSW Tool Design 2.10.1 Shoulder Diameter 2.10.2 Pin Geometry 2.11 FSW Process Parameters 2.11.1 Rotational and Traverse Speeds 2.11.2 Tool Tilt Angle 2.11.3 Plunge Depth 2.11.4 Tool Pin Offset 2.12 FSW Experimental Setup 2.12.1 FSW Machine 2.12.2 FSW Work Fixture
