Abstract

This chapter discusses the distribution of temperature resulted by frictional heat during friction stir welding (FSW) butt-joint of aviation grade AA6082. Experimental investigation has been conducted with varying rotational speed and welding speed. Eight L-shaped k-type thermocouples are employed to measure the resulting temperature. Least square method is employed to quantify the temperature of nugget zone (NZ). After that, a thermal map of friction heat has been developed to study the temperature at different locations. Furthermore, it is attempted to establish a correlation between frictional heat and joint properties.
