Effect of tool rotational speed on force generation, microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded Al-Mg-Cr-Mn (AA 5052-O) alloy
Friction stir welding (FSW) between 3 mm thick AA 5052-O aluminum alloy plates was investigated in the present study. Different welded specimens were produced by employing a constant tool traverse speed of 120 mm/min and by varying rotating speeds from 800 to 3000 rpm. The welded joints were charact...
