Experimental analysis and RSM-based optimization of friction stir welding joints made of the alloys AA6101 and C11000

In the present study, the evaluation of FSW input parameters on output response ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the friction stir welded AA6101-C11000 joint is in agreement. The response surface methodology (RSM) was adapted for generating the mathematical regression equation to predict the UTS a...

description In the present study, the evaluation of FSW input parameters on output response ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the friction stir welded AA6101-C11000 joint is in agreement. The response surface methodology (RSM) was adapted for generating the mathematical regression equation to predict the UTS and to develop the FSW parameters to attain the highest UTS of the FSW joints. The central composite design (CCD) method from RSM with five levels and three factors, i.e., tool rotational speed, feed rate, and tool offset used to conduct and minimize the number of tests. During FSW, base sheet cu (hard metal) was stationed on the advancing side (+1 mm, +1.68 mm tool offset) and the base sheet Al (soft metal) on the retreating side (−1 mm, −1.68 mm tool offset). The radiography studies were accomplished to inspect the internal flaws of the FSW joints (Al-Cu).The XRD and SEM investigation of the ruptured specimens during the tensile test to evaluate the IMCs phase anatomy and fracture analysis. The maximum UTS value measured during the experimental work was 142.69 MPa at 1000 rpm, 40 mm min ^−1 , and −1.68 mm tool offset. The highest joint efficiency obtained was 82% compared with the AA6101 UTS value. RSM adapted for this work was 92% accurate and satisfactory.
