Abstract

In present research work, a novel flat friction stir spot welding was performed on three dissimilar Aluminum alloy sheets (two sheets of AA6082-T6 and one sheet of AA6061-T6). The microstructural features and mechanical properties of joints were investigated at various parameters like tool tilt angle, tool rotational speed, dwell time and tool plunge depth. The optimized value of the response parameter was obtained using Taguchi orthogonal array L27. An increase in tool tilt angle, tool rotational speed and dwell time had improved the microhardness. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, microhardness tests, lap shear strength test and X-ray diffraction were employed to study the characterization of joints. The present investigations were carried out to correlate the microhardness with microstructural characterization of joints at different welding conditions. It was observed from the XRD analysis that the compressive residual stresses were developed due to reaction for forces exerted by the tool shoulder. Fractograph of joints exhibited mixed mode of fracture with the presence of dimples, transgranular texture and cleavage facets. The comparision of joint efficiency of FFSSW weldment with other variants was done.
