Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of rotational speed on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction welded 2014 aluminum alloy. The experimental results illustrate that the joint structure includes three zones: recrystallization zone (RZ), deformed zone (DZ) and partially deformed zone (PDZ). As the rotational speed is increased, the number of cracks and imperfections is sharply reduced and the hardness of RZ is increased. Maximum hardness is obtained at a speed of 2,000 rpm at the weld interface. The tensile test shows that elongation, yield and ultimate strength are increased with increasing the rotational speed. Fractured surfaces of welded samples also are discussed.
