Popis: Friction Stir Welding is a solid state welding process which is used to join the soft materials like aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium etc. It uses heat generated from friction produced by rotating tool and high axial force. At elevated temperature material undergoes plastic deformation zone which is stirred by rotating tool. On cooling, a solid bond is formed, it is called as weld nugget.FSW Process is characterized by different welding parameters like Rotation Speed, Traverse Speed, Axial load, Tool Geometry which enhances different mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, corrosion resistance etc. This paper shows effect of various welding parameters on the characteristics of weld formed during FSW.
