FSW Parametric Process Envelope of Al6061-T6 and Al7075-T6 joint

Friction stir welding (FSW) process is a relatively new welding technique where friction heat is used to forge metal components together. Due to the absence of parent metal melting, the FSW process observed to offer several advantages over fusion welding. AA6XXX and 7XXX Al alloys are two series of the most widely used structural materials in automotive, rail transportation and aerospace industries. The objective of this study was to investigate the machine process parameter envelop of joint made by friction stir welding for dissimilar AA6061-T6 and AA7075-T6 Al alloys with solidus temperature of 582 and 477º C, respectively
