Highlights Band patterns from the advancing side to the stir nugget center are detected in the self-reacting friction stir welding. Meta-stable precipitates are all diminished in the stir nugget zone and the thermal mechanically affected zone. The grain size of the stir nugget zone increases with the increase of welding speed. The tensile strength of defect-free joint increases with the increase of welding speed. The tensile fracture of defect-free joint is located at the heat affected zone on the advancing side.
Abstract The 4mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum alloy was self-reacting friction stir welded at a constant tool rotation speed of 600r/min. The specially designed self-reacting tool was characterized by the two different shoulder diameters. The effect of welding speed on microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. As the welding speed increased from 50 to 200mm/min, the grain size of the stir nugget zone increased, but the grain size of the heat affected zone was almost not changed. So-called band patterns from the advancing side to the weld center were detected in the stir nugget zone. The strengthening meta-stable precipitates were all diminished in the stir nugget zone and the thermal mechanically affected zone of the joints. However, considerable amount of β′ phases, tending to reduce with increasing welding speed, were retained in the heat affected zone. The results of transverse tensile test indicated that the elongation and tensile strength of joints increased with increasing welding speed. The defect-free joints were obtained at lower welding speeds and the tensile fracture was located at the heat affected zone adjacent to the thermal mechanically affected zone on the advancing side.
