Abstract

This study focused on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) maximization of solid state joining process i.e. friction stir welding (FSW) by using vertical milling machine on AA 6082-T6. In order to evaluate the effect of process parameters such as tool rotational speed, traverse speed and tool pin length on ultimate tensile strength of friction stir welded aluminum alloy 6082-T6, Taguchi parametric design and optimization approach was used. Through the Taguchi parametric design approach, the optimum levels of process parameters were determined. The results indicate that the rotational speed and welding speed are the significant parameters in deciding the tensile strength of the joint and the tool pin length is the least significant parameter in deciding the tensile strength of the joint.
