Abstract
In this experimental study, an attempt has been made to optimize the process parameters of friction stir welding (FSW) for tensile strength and percentage elongation using Taguchi-based gray relation analysis (GRA). An orthogonal array of L9 has been implemented to fabrication of joints. The experiments have conducted according to the combination of rotational speed, tool tilt (TLT) and types of tool pin profile (TPP). The results revealed that the rotational speed is most significant process parameter with percentage contribution of 96.24 %. On optimization, tool rotation speed of 1,550 rpm, TLT angle of 4° and octagonal-type TPP have been found to be the best parameter setting for FSW process of aluminum 6061 and 6082 alloy welds. To ensure the robustness of GRA, a confirmation test was performed at selected optimal process parameter setting.
