Resumo |
The unfavourable effect of hooking or softening, respectively, on fracture strength of joints made using friction stir lap welding (FSLW) is known but the combined effect on the magnitude of strength reduction is not clear. In this study, FSLW experiments using AA6060-T5 and AZ31B-H24 alloys were conducted. For both alloys, rotation speed has a dominant effect on increasing the hook size due to increasing the stir flow volume thus lifting more the original lapping surfaces. In AA6060 welds, FS softening has limited the strength, when hook size approaches zero. Meanwhile hook starts to reduce the strength significantly, when its size reaches a critical value. The maximum strength of AA6060 FSL welds reaches ~ 70% of the base metal UTS when hook size approaches zero. This is in contract to ~30% for AZ31B FSL welds. This can be explained by the local plastic deformation behaviour during lap tensile testing. |
