This study aimed to investigate the metallurgical and mechanical effects of butt friction stir welding on AA6082 material through experimental means. Aluminum sheets, 6 mm thick, were subjected to friction stir welding at 2000 rpm and a traverse speed of 100 mm/min. Various analyses were conducted on the welded specimens to evaluate their microstructure, tensile, fatigue, and microhardness, including optical microscopy, FESEM, XRD, UTM, FCGR, and Vickers microhardness testing. A comparison with the base metal revealed that the welded specimens retained 53% of the tensile strength of the base metal, and there were changes in fatigue life and grain refinement in the nugget zone, thermo-mechanically affected zone, and flow arm zone.

摘要

This study aimed to investigate the metallurgical and mechanical effects of butt friction stir welding on AA6082 material through experimental means. Aluminum sheets, 6 mm thick, were subjected to friction stir welding at 2000 rpm and a traverse speed of 100 mm/min. Various analyses were conducted on the welded specimens to evaluate their microstructure, tensile, fatigue, and microhardness, including optical microscopy, FESEM, XRD, UTM, FCGR, and Vickers microhardness testing. A comparison with the base metal revealed that the welded specimens retained 53% of the tensile strength of the base metal, and there were changes in fatigue life and grain refinement in the nugget zone, thermo-mechanically affected zone, and flow arm zone.
