Abstract

An experimental work was completed of weldability of 5 mm-thick Aluminum alloy 5083 metal plates. This work was done with the help of FSW process. The map of experiments was finished on universal milling. The process parameters are probe revolving velocity of 710, 900, and 1200 rpm, the cross speed of at 20, 30, and 40 mm/min were used. The pin geometry of tool was taper threaded profile. The samples were prepared for microstructure analyses, Rockwell hardness measurements, SEM analysis, and tensile testing. The K-Type thermocouples of 8 were arranged to find the temperatures at different places on the plates. It was ascertained that the properties acquired were mechanically very sound. And these properties were achieved at optimum tool rotational speed. The agreement was good from the analysis between mechanical properties and microstructure.
