Description

Experimental measurements and thermal modelling were used to determine the transient heat loss into friction stir welding tools and so calculate the welding efficiency. Energy inputs were determined from force and torque measurements made whilst performing welds between aluminium alloy 6082-T6 and aluminium alloy 2024-T3, and of magnesium alloy AM60. In both cases sheet of 3 mm thickness was welded using a tool steel tool with an M6 thread. Transient heat loss to the tool, and hence welding efficiency, was calculated. The incorporation of grooves into the tool shank to improve efficiency by reducing heat flow into the tool was investigated.
