Formation of a butt joint of a alloy of copper


and aluminium with varying composition of
copper (5%-15%) by using friction stir welding
and then analysing the various properties of
the then formed joint such as
Tensile strength
Hardness
Toughness
Microstructure

Rotating
probe
provides friction heat
and pressure which
joins the material
Sufficient downward
force to maintain
pressure and to create
friction heat

A downwards force is necessary to maintain


the position of the tool at or the material
surface.
The transverse force acts parallel to the tool
motion and is positive in the transverse
direction.
The lateral force may act perpendicular to the
tool transverse direction and is defined here
as positive towards the advancing side of the
weld.
Torque is required to rotate the tool.

Type of metal
Angle of tool
Transverse speed of the tool
Spinning speed of tool
Pressure applied by the
pin tool

REASON OF CHOOSING ALUMINIUM


ALLOY: LIGHT WEIGHT metal having specific gravity
of 2.7 only.
ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGHT is sufficiently
high about 50-70 Mpa.
Its MELTING POINT is 660 degree Celsius due
to which it is suitable for moderate
temperature usage.
Pure aluminum is really soft therefore its
alloyed with other elements.
Under atmospheric exposure, it forms a
protective layer over itself. This layer is
aluminum oxide.

REASON OF CHOOSING COPPER: Ductile metal having ductility of more than 15%.
Its ultimate strength is considerably high about
300-350 Mpa.

Its melting point is about 1083 degree Celsius.


When exposed to the environment it forms a
protective layer of copper oxide.
It can be easily brazed.

SPECIMEN 1: ALUMINIUM(95%) AND COPPER(5%)

SPECIMEN 2: ALUMINIUM(90%) AND COPPER(10%)

SPECIMEN 3:ALUMINIUM(85%) AND COPPER(15%)

TENSILE STRENGTH:It is the maximum stress that a material can


withstand while being stretched or pulled
before failing or breaking.
This test can be done on any of the following machines: UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINE
HOUNSFIELD TENSOMETER
INSTRON OR OTHER MATERIAL TESTING SYSTEM

HARDNESS:It is a measure of how resistant solid matter is


to various kinds of permanent shape change
when a compressive force is applied. Some
materials, such as metal, are harder than
others.
HARDNESS CAN BE MEASURED BY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
PROCESS: BRINELLS HARDNESS TEST
ROCKWELLS HARDNESS TEST

TOUGHNESS:Material toughness is the amount of


energy per unit volume that a material
can absorb before rupturing. It is also
defined as a material's resistance to
fracture when stressed.
THIS PROPERTY OF THE MATERIAL CAN BE TESTED USING: CHARPY AND IZOD IMPACT TEST

OUTCOMES EXPECTED: We can find out the basic mechanical


properties of the alloy material.
We can find out how the different
mechanical properties of material varies
with the different composition of copper
in aluminum.

We can further find out which is the best


composition
and
what
are
basic
properties.

DIVERSE MATERIAL:- Welds a wide range of alloys


including previously unweldable (and possibly
composite material).
DURABLE JOINT:-Provide twice the fatigue resistance
of fusion welding.
VERSATILE WELD:-Welds in all positions and create
straight or complex shape welds.
RETAINED MATERIAL PROPERTIES:-Minimize material
distortion.
SAFE OPERATIONS:- Does not create hazards such as
weld fumes ,radiations, high voltage, liquid metal.
NO KEYHOLE:-Pin is retracted automatically at end of
weld.
