Abstract

In this research work, dual-phase 600 steel grade and AA6082-T6 aluminum alloy dissimilar flat plates of thickness 2 mm were fabricated by using friction stir welding. Three tool rotational speeds of 560, 710 and 900 rpm, three tool traverse speeds of 24, 32 and 40 mm/min, three tool offsets of 0.8, 1.3 and 1.8 mm and constant tool tilt angle of 0.5° were used to obtain the defect-free welds. Macrostructure, microstructure evolutions, tensile strength, microhardness tests were carried out to assess the welding properties of dissimilar steel and aluminum welded joints. The highest tensile strength of 240 MPa with the joint efficiency of 85% of the base metal was obtained when the parameters were set to tool rotational speed of 710 rpm, traverse speed of 40 mm/min, tool tilt angle of 0.5° and tool pin offset of 1.3 mm using a tungsten carbide tool. The highest microhardness of 246 HV was obtained in the stir zone. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the joint interface structure. The presence of Fe5Al8 and FeAl intermetallic compounds was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction analysis.
