Abstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) uses a non consumable, continuously rotating tool to generate frictional heat required for joining different surfaces. Various welding parameters like tool shoulder diameter, tool rotational speed, tool pin length, welding speed, etc., play a major role in deciding the properties of friction stir welded joint. Three levels of input variables namely tool rotational speed and pre-heat time have been considered to carry out FSW process on 3mm thickness work piece of aluminium 1050 alloy. The experimental investigation is followed by statistical analysis to find out theoretical (predicted) values of the force. In this work an attempt has been made to analyze the effect of pre-heat time on force during friction stir welding of aluminium 1050 alloy. The results show that force decreases continuously with increase in pre-heat time
