Investigation on submerged friction stir welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy under the influence of rotation speed
In this study, submerged friction stir welding (SFSW) was performed to weld 6 mm thick AZ31B Mg alloy plates, aiming to explore the impact of rotation speed on microstructure and tensile behavior. The water medium was used to submerge the samples. The SFSW was conducted at three different speeds (81...

| description | In this study, submerged friction stir welding (SFSW) was performed to weld 6 mm thick AZ31B Mg alloy plates, aiming to explore the impact of rotation speed on microstructure and tensile behavior. The water medium was used to submerge the samples. The SFSW was conducted at three different speeds (815, 960, and 1200 rpm), to assess the impact of rotation speed on SFSWed joint performance. As the rotation speed increased from 815 to 960 rpm, tensile strength increased plateauing over a range of the rotation speed. However, a significant drop in tensile strength occurred at 1200 rpm due to the formation of void defects. The SZ exhibits a size and width increment in the lower part with increasing rotation speed. The hardness of the stir zone (SZ) gradually rose with increasing rotation speed from 815 to 960 rpm. Fracture locations were observed in the thermal-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) adjacent to the SZ at a rotation speed of 815 rpm, and in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) adjacent to the TMAZ at a rotation speed of 960 rpm. The joint welded at 1200 rpm fractured within the SZ. This study offers valuable insights into the welding and joining field, particularly regarding their mechanical characteristics. |
