Description
As part of a project to develop a physical-mathematical model and software for thermal simulation of the friction stir welding (FSW) process, an initial version "FricSim2.2" was created and verified, using the software tool "SpotFSW" to convert the measurable process responses and provide the results of process simulation for the database. Trials were performed on similar material combinations of 6013 T6 and 2024 T3 Al alloys in butt joint configuration (4 mm thickness sheets). Plunge tests were conducted to obtain a detailed analysis of the heat generation and plastification mechanisms, including the influence of different alloy grades (2024 T3, 7050 T76, 6013 T6), process parameters (plunge velocity, rotation speed) and tool geometries (shoulder diameter), and utilising a tool with or without a pin.
