Abstract

Friction stir welding was primarily developed for soft and low-temperature materials. With the help of emergent technologies and growing demand, this joining process can also be used for high-temperature materials like copper, steel, and titanium. Conventional friction stir welding of steel demands high-temperature stirring where the tool has to withstand high wear, which reduces the tool's life. Reducing the plate hardness and increasing its flowability before interaction with the tool can prove beneficial for improvement in tool life. The present study establishes an induction-assisted preheating setup just ahead of the tool. Friction stir welding of steel with and without induction preheating is performed, and the effects of preheating on joint properties are investigated. The welded joints are compared depending on their weld thermal cycles, microstructural characterization, and mechanical properties.
