Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to determine how tool pin eccentricity affected the strength improvement of FSW weldments AA5754-H111 and AA6101-T6. The irregular joints were created using a square tool pin with eccentricities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, 0.5, and 0.6 mm. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the ideal welding parameters and study the impact of various welding parameters on the tensile strength. The study's input parameters are tool rotational speed, tool traversal speed, and tool pin eccentricity, with ultimate tensile strength as the output parameter. Investigations were made into how pin eccentricity affected the mechanical characteristics and microstructural growth of joints. The optimal welding parameters that are determined from this study include tool rotating speed of 900 rpm, tool traverse speed of 40 mm/min, and 0.35 mm tool pin eccentricity. Microstructural investigation revealed that the square tool pin with a 0.35 mm tool pin eccentricity properly mixed both of the base materials.
