Abstract
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a type of welding used to join materials for high strength applications. FSW is a well-liked solid-state welding technique for joining aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials in the aerospace, automotive, and marine industries. Pure copper and aluminum from the 6082 series were welded together using a specially designed milling machine. Tests for hardness, flexural rigidity, and impact are performed to assess the welding strength. Material flow and weld defects have been investigated by analyzing the microstructure of the weld junction. The modified vertical milling machine has been used to execute FSW of pure copper and aluminum plates. The aim is to explore the produced welded joints and to comprehend the difficulties encountered while utilizing milling machines as a FSW equipment. Similarly, to optimize the welding parameters in order to accomplish sound welding. FSW can be carried out on a milling machine because the flexural strength of a conical unthread thread tool is 108.58N/mm2 and 92.16N/mm2, respectively, at rotational speeds of 500 rpm and 1000 rpm with welding feed rates of 16 mm/min and 50 mm/min.
