This study focuses on the application of friction stir welding (FSW) process for joining of
pipes. It addresses key issues associated with fusion welding techniques, such as lack of
fusion, over penetration, slag inclusions, root crack, undercut root gap, and thermal
distortion. The influence of process parameters on the physical properties during FSW of
aluminum pipes has been studied, which allows selecting an optimum combination of
parameters for achieving superior welds. Physical responses such as variation in axial force …
This study focuses on the application of friction stir welding (FSW) process for joining of pipes. It addresses key issues associated with fusion welding techniques, such as lack of fusion, over penetration, slag inclusions, root crack, undercut root gap, and thermal distortion. The influence of process parameters on the physical properties during FSW of aluminum pipes has been studied, which allows selecting an optimum combination of parameters for achieving superior welds. Physical responses such as variation in axial force, torque, temperature, and power have been analyzed. Tensile test of the joints fabricated shows a maximum of ∼90% joint strength efficiency with respect to the base material. The peak temperature or heat input is found to be increasing during FSW, which creates a larger grain size in the stir zone of the joints, resulting in the higher hardness of the joints.
