Description

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) belongs to the solid state joining technique. In the present study, the effect of FSW parameters such as rotational speed and tool pin diameter on the weldability of ZK61A Magnesium alloy was investigated and the mechanical and micro structural characteristics of the welded specimens were analyzed at room temperature. Further, the tool wear was estimated with constant shoulder diameter. Radiographic tests were done to identify defects in the weldments. (paper)
