Effect of tool pin profile on microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded AZ31B magnesium alloy
Highlights FSW conditions for defect free joints of AZ31B magnesium alloy were reached. The effect of FSW factors such pin design on the features of the welds was studied. Taper pin caused to finest grains and highest mechanical properties. The superior properties of the joints were achieved at the condition of ω 2/υ =6300. All the tensile fractures occurred at the interface of the SZ and base metal.
Abstract In this investigation the effect of friction stir welding pin geometry on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy joints is studied. The considered pin geometries are simple cylindrical, screw threaded cylindrical and taper. The joints are friction stir welded at different traverse and rotational speeds. Microstructures of the joints are examined using the optical and scanning electron microscopes. Also, the tensile properties and hardness of the joints are measured. The results show that taper and screw threaded cylindrical pins produce defect free joints. In addition, the taper pin results in finest microstructure and highest mechanical properties. Furthermore, it is found that rotational speed has a more significant role on the final microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints, compared to the traverse speed.
