Abstract

In this research work, friction stir welding of dissimilar AA7075-T651 and AA6061 aluminium alloys has been carried out by varying the material position and power of ultrasonic vibration (UV). Material flow, microstructure, hardness and tensile properties of the weld joint were mainly discussed . Results showed that the position of an AA7075-T651 material in the advancing side and ultrasonic power of 1.5 kW exhibited maximum tensile strength, hardness and bending strength. Elongation decreased with an increase in UV power. When using 1.5 kW UV power, the formation of multiple vortexes and distinct layers in the weld nugget zone improved the dissimilar joint property. A micro-void formation resulted from the lack of material filling and excessive turbulence when the UV power increased to 2 kW. The maximum compressive load of 50 kN was attained for the bending angle of 44° at 1.5 kW UV power. On increasing the ultrasonic power, dimples elongated and glided along the weld zone to cause void and tunnel formation .

    The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] because the eight cross-sectional macrographs shown in Table��3 are identical with cross-sectional macrographs that are part of Figure 1 in the article by Reza-E-Rabby et al. [2] which presents the results of a study using different tools and welding parameters. The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable. Darshan Rajesekaran and Yuvaraj Kunnathur Periyasamy do not agree with this retraction; Ashoka Varthanan Perumal has not replied to correspondence about this retraction.
