Description
A combined analytical and experimental study was carried out to determine power, heat input, tool shoulder temperature and process efficiency for the FSW of aluminium alloys, carbon steels and titanium alloys and to compare heat input with that for MIG/MAG welding. FSW was carried out on plates of thickness 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) of AA-6082-T6 aluminium alloy, 1018 carbon steel and Ti-6%Al-4%V titanium alloy. Torque, axial load and temperatures on the tool were measured and used to calculate power consumed and heat input. Process efficiencies were also calculated.
