Abstract
Considering friction heat generation between rotating tool and workpiece and plastic deformation heat generation of material, a numerical simulation model of friction stir welding of 7075 aluminium alloy sheet was established. In this study, the temperature field of the welding process was analysed, and the effects of different stirring speeds and welding speeds on the temperature field were compared. The results show that the high temperature region is located below the shoulder and diffuses outward in a ring shape. After the welding is completed, the workpiece center temperature is high and the ambient temperature is low. The stirring speed of the tool has a large effect on the peak temperature during the welding process. The effect of the welding speed on the peak temperature is less than the stirring speed. The comparison shows that the welding temperature is about 478°C at a stirring speed of 800r/min and a welding speed of 120mm/min, which is a suitable welding parameter.
