This book was released on 2018 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The automotive industry demands ecofriendly manufacturing processes and lightweight structures and materials to reduce CO 2 emissions and decrease weight and fuel consumption while optimizing overall performance. Aluminum alloys in the 7xxx and 6xxx series offer high potential for weight reduction in automotive and other transportation industries. 7xxx aluminum alloys have the best strength performance among all commercial aluminum alloys. Alloys in the 6xxx series generally have medium-to-high strength, high corrosion resistance, and good formability. Alloys in both the 7xxx and 6xxx series are strengthened by heat treatment. The increased strength-to-weight ratio and the thermal treatment processing open the possibility to use these alloys as possible alternative materials instead of steel in the automotive industry for the fabrication of car body parts. However, their poor formability and weldability are the main drawbacks when these alloys are considered as substitutes of steel and other dissimilar joints during the fabrication of car body parts and the production chain. Recently, Hot Forming and in-die Quenching (HFQ), a patented hot stamping process, has been introduced to manufacture complex-shaped high-strength heat-treatable aluminum alloys. The work described in this article is an experimental investigation of the weldability between AA6082 and AA7075 by Friction Stir Welding (FSW) that considers thermal treatments used during HFQ for automotive applications. The aforementioned FSW base metals, 6082 and 7075, are heat treated according to the solution heat treatment adopted during HFQ to evaluate the effect of the HFQ thermal cycle on the quality of the produced joints. Optical microscopy has been used to characterize the microstructure of the produced joints. The defect-free welded joints are characterized by good mechanical mixing between the joined materials as well as by grain refinement. The mechanical behavior of the produced welded joints was studied and compared with the parent materials, whereas the measured mechanical properties are correlated with the microstructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is an era of metals including Aluminum alloys owing to a fundamental paradigm shift in research objectives. In addition to superior performance and lightweight criteria that are used to define the innovations of yore, scientists today are compelled to take into consideration the environment-friendliness of the new and novel materials being developed due to the concerns of maintaining a sustainable and safe existence. The solid-state Friction stir welding process has immense potential in the areas of automobiles, aerospace and construction industries due to its overwhelming advantages over the conventional fusion welding process of aluminum alloys. The thesis presents an experimental investigation of friction stir welding of dissimilar aluminum alloys AA7075T651 and AA6082T651. Mathematical modeling equations are developed to predict the tensile strength, impact strength, elongation, and micro-hardness of the dissimilar FSW joints AA7075T651 and AA6082T651. The process parameters are optimized for maximum tensile strength and hardness values. Post weld heat treatment is conducted and the metallurgical properties of the FS welded AA7075T651 and AA6082T651 are presented for different combinations of tool rotational speeds. Aluminum and its alloys are widely used in nonferrous alloys for many industrial applications. Aluminum exhibits a combination of an excellent mechanical strength with lightweight and thus it is steadily replacing steel in industrial applications where the strength to weight ratio plays a significant role. In conventional welding, the joining of aluminum is mainly associated with a high coefficient of thermal expansion, solidification shrinkage and dissolution of harmful gases in the molten metal during welding. The weld joints are also associated with segregation of secondary alloys and porosities which are detrimental to the joint qualities. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) and Friction Welding (FW) are the most popular emerging solid welding techniques in aircraft and shipbuilding industries. FSW is mainly used for the joining of metal plates and FW is mainly used for the joining of rods. Both techniques are suitable for high strength material having less weight. These techniques are environmentally friendly and easy to execute. Hence, the study of these techniques can contribute much to the field of green technology. This research work is dealt with the experimental and numerical investigations on FSW and FW of aluminum alloys.

Book excerpt: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a highly important and recently developed joining technology that produces a solid phase bond. It uses a rotating tool to generate frictional heat that causes material of the components to be welded to soften without reaching the melting point and allows the tool to move along the weld line. Plasticized material is transferred from the leading edge to trailing edge of the tool probe, leaving a solid phase bond between the two parts.
