Description
Numerical simulations and experimental measurements were undertaken to study the temperature fields developed during friction stir welding (FSW) of AW 5083 (Al, 4-4.9%Mg, 0.25%Mn) alloy plates (thickness 10 mm). Welding was conducted at a rotational speed of 600 rpm, welding speed of 60 mm/min and downward force of 3.5 kN. The temperature distribution was measured by K type thermocouples. A simulation model for numerical simulation of the FSW process was formulated and the program codes ANSYS and Virtual Mesh were used to analyse the temperature fields, especially after tool penetration and during tool transversal movement. The concentration of heat on the retreating side of welded material is discussed.
