Abstract

An experimental correlation of weld efficiency and defect formation with using two-dimensional Friction Stir Weld (FSW) model was presented. FSW was modeled using Elurian flow formulation. A comparison of the trends in specific weld energy measured for a range of welding speeds and tool rotation rates was analyzed. Results show that the effect of weld pitch on specific weld energy was much less than that of welding speed and the weld energy appeared to approach some minimum value, independent of pitch, as welding speed was increased.
