WELDING & TYPES OF WELDING
FSW was invented by Wayne Thomas at TWI (the welding institute) ltd in 1991.
It overcome many of the problem associated with conventional joining techniques.
FSW is low energy input, capable of producing very high strength weld in wide
range of materials at low cost.
FSW process take place in the solid phase below the melting point of the material
to be joined.
FSW is solid state welding process.
Weld created by Mean of friction heating and mechanical deformation.
Unlike fusion welding here no filler material is used.
Commonly used for aluminium and its alloy.
THEORY OF FSW
FSW a cylindrical , shouldered tool with a profiled probe /pin is rotated and
slowly plunged into the joint line between two piece butted together.
Fractional heat generated between the wear resistance welding tool and
material of the work pieces.
The heat is without reaching the melting point and allow traversing of the
tool along the weld line.
The plasticized material transferred the front edge of the tool to back edge
of the tool probe, it is forged by the intimate contact of the tool shoulder
and pin profile.
STEPS OF FSW PROCESS
1. PLUNGE STAGE
2. DWELL STAGE
3. WELDING STAGE
1. UNAFFECTED MATERIAL
UNAFFECTED MATERIAL
This material remote from the weld, which has not be deformed.
No microstructural change occur in this zone.
A very little microstructure change occur in the HAZ due to the heat of welding.
No plastic deformation occurring in this area.
The microstructure in this zone consist of coarse grained structure.
MICROSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF FSW
STIR ZONE
The weld region that has direct interaction with tool probe.
Extreme strain and elevated temperature cause recrystallization of material.
This region consist of very fine equi axed grains.
