View in WORD format

Summary: Al 6061-T6 is welded with Al 7075-O Bare and Al 6061-T6 is welded with Al 2024-T3, by High Speed Friction Stir Welding technique. A detailed study on weld parameters (rotational speed and transverse speed of the tool) is carried out using Stat-Ease software. This also investigates how the weld parameters effect the hardness, tensile and microstructure properties of the joint.
