Welding Technique

Ultrasonic assisted friction stir welding (UaFSW) is an hybrid welding technique, where high frequency vibration is superimposed on the movement of a rotating tool. The benefit of using ultrasonic vibration in the FSW process refers to the reduction in the welding force and to the better welding quality. The UaFSW system is being developed and its mechanism needs to be understood using both the experiments and the numerical simulations. In this paper, FE simulations of FSW and UaFSW using ABAQUS/Explicit were carried out to examine plunge forces during the plunge phase of FSW and UaFSW, respectively. First, the simulations of the conventional FSW process were validated. Then, simulation of UaFSW process was performed by imposing sinusoidal horizontal ultrasonic vibrations on the tool.

Aluminum And Magnesium Alloys

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is the latest innovative and most complex process which is widely applied to the welding of lightweight alloys, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys, and most recently, titanium alloys, copper alloys, steels and super-alloys. Friction stir welding is a highly complex process comprising several highly coupled physical phenomena. The experiments are often time consuming and costly. To overcome these problems, numerical analysis has frequently been used in the last ten years. In this paper is presented a brief review of scientific papers in recent years on numerical simulation of Friction Stir Welding of aluminum alloys. The main elements analyzed by FSW simulation, and briefly in this paper are: temperature and residual stress distribution; work tool geometry (size and shape of the pin); distribution of equivalent plastic deformation; main areas resulted after welding; distribution of microstructure (grain size); parameters and optimization of the FSW process.
