  • Multi-Response Optimization of Process Parameters by Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis for Dissimilar Thickness Friction Stir Process Corner Weld Aa5086 Alloy
    Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Vol. 13, No. 10 (2018) 3297 - 3312 © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University MULTI-RESPONSE OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS BY TAGUCHI GREY RELATIONAL ANALYSIS FOR DISSIMILAR THICKNESS FRICTION STIR PROCESS CORNER WELD AA5086 ALLOY MANIGANDAN KRISHNAN*, SENTHILKUMAR SUBRAMANIAM School of Mechanical Engineering, VIT University, Vellore, India *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract This paper presents the multi-response optimization of friction stir corner welding process for dissimilar thickness AA5086 aluminium alloy plates. The corner joint of AA5086 aluminium alloy plates of thicknesses of 6 mm and 4 mm was welded by Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process. The FSW experiments were conducted agreeing to the L9 orthogonal array. Three FSW process parameters: tool traverse speed (100, 150 and 190 mm/min), rotational speed (900, 1000 and 1100 rev/min), and plunge depth (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm) were related with weld tensile strength and hardness. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the percentage contribution of each input parameter on the weld quality. Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis is used to optimize and order the FSW process parameters. Conferring to the results of the analyses, the optimal welding condition was determined as 1000 rev/min for tool rotational speed, 150 mm/min for traverse speed and 0.1 mm for tool plunge depth. The percentage contribution of the traverse speed (54%) revealed a significant influence compared to tool rotational speed (21%) and plunge depth (13%). The microstructures of various zones were observed and analysed. Tensile tests were conducted and the fracture was observed at heat affected zones for all the joints.

  • Aluminium Alloys Chemical Composition Pdf
    Aluminium alloys chemical composition pdf Continue Alloy in which aluminum is the predominant lye frame of aluminum welded aluminium alloy, manufactured in 1990. Aluminum alloys (or aluminium alloys; see spelling differences) are alloys in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. Typical alloy elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. There are two main classifications, namely casting alloys and forged alloys, both further subdivided into heat-treatable and heat-free categories. Approximately 85% of aluminium is used for forged products, e.g. laminated plates, foils and extrusions. Aluminum cast alloys produce cost-effective products due to their low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strength than forged alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where high silicon levels (4.0–13%) contributes to giving good casting features. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where a low weight or corrosion resistance is required. [1] Alloys composed mostly of aluminium have been very important in aerospace production since the introduction of metal leather aircraft. Aluminum-magnesium alloys are both lighter than other aluminium alloys and much less flammable than other alloys containing a very high percentage of magnesium. [2] Aluminum alloy surfaces will develop a white layer, protective of aluminum oxide, if not protected by proper anodization and/or dyeing procedures. In a wet environment, galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminum alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with a more positive corrosion potential than aluminum, and an electrolyte is present that allows the exchange of ions.

Forewords Nonferrous metals are non-iron-based metals such as aluminum and aluminum alloys, copper and copper alloys, nickel and nickel alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, and magnesium and magnesium alloys. Today, nonferrous metals are used in various welding constructions for diverse industrial applications. However, their weldability is quite different from that of steel, due to specific physical and metallurgical characteristics. Therefore, the welding procedure for nonferrous metals should be thoroughly examined taking into account the inherent characteristics of the particular nonferrous metal to be welded, in order to get sound weldments. This textbook focuses on the arc welding of aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, copper alloys, nickel, and nickel alloys that are used more extensively over other nonferrous metals for industrial applications.

  • Aluminum in the Environment and Human Health by John R
    Environmental Health Perspectives Vol. 8, pp. 3-95, 1974 Aluminum in the Environment and Human Health by John R. J. Sorenson,* Irene R. Campbell,* Lloyd B. Tepper, and Robert D. Lingg* The review of over 800 references on aluminum (Al) published since the mid-fifties covers the occurrence of Al in soil, air, water, plants and food products, as well as air and water pollu- tion problems. In addition, the existing quality criteria, the biology and toxicology of Al, and the therapeutic and medical uses are presented. It is concluded that absorption and reten- tion or accumulation of Al in humans occurs at lower levels of intake than had been assumed formerly. However, levels of 5 to 50 times the normal daily intake do not appear to interfere with other metabolic processes. The adverse effects of Al reported in the more recent years resulted from the inhalation or ingestion of Al in concentrations many times greater than the amounts present under normal circumstances. As in the past, there is still no need for .n- cern by the public or producers of Al or its products concerning hazards to human health de- rived from well established and extensively used products.

TIG and friction stir welding are the well- known techniques that are currently suitable for joining dissimilar aluminium alloys. The welding of dissimilar alloys has its own dynamics which impact on the quality of the weld. This then suggests that there should be a process which can be used to improve the dissimilar alloys welds post their production. Friction stir processing is viewed as one of the techniques that could be used to improve the mechanical properties of the material. This paper reports on the status and the advancement of FSW, TIG and FSP technique. It further looks at the variation use of FSP on TIG and FSW welded joints with the purpose of identifying the knowledge gap.” KeyWords: Tensile analysis; Microhardness; Friction stir welding; TIG welding; Friction stir processing; Aluminium alloys; Microstructure. 1 Introduction “Aluminium alloys are known to be good candidates for different applications in various fields like aerospace, food packaging, automotive industries, etc.

  • 2 Manufacturing of Aluminium Composite Materials: a Review
    Kamardeen O. Abdulrahman, Esther T. Akinlabi, and Rasheedat M. Mahamood 2 Manufacturing of aluminium composite materials: A review Abstract: Aluminium composite materials are becoming very popular as a result of their physical and mechanical characteristics, which are making them relevant to various applications. The addition of reinforcement materials with unique characteristics into aluminium produces aluminium composites with superior quality. Wear resistance, stiffness, strength and hardness are some of the improved properties obtained when reinforcement materials were added to the primary aluminium. This chapter presents some of the manufacturing processes of aluminium, its alloys and composites. The effects of reinforcements on aluminium composites from existing work and research direction on the fabrication of aluminium composite materials were discussed in this chapter. Keywords: Composite materials, Functionally graded materials (FGMs), Manufacturing processes, Aluminium matrix, Powder metallurgy 2.1 Introduction Aluminium comprises about 8% of the Earth crust, which makes it the second most plentiful element on the Earth’s crust and it is never found in its pure state [1]. It is mostly available in its oxide form as micas, feldspars and clay. Aluminium is a light metal with a melting point of 658 °C, specific gravity of 2.7 and tensile strength between 90 and 150 MPa [2]. Aluminium, which was discovered in 1807, becomes widely commercialized after the invention of the Hall–Heroult production process in 1886 [3]. This history is summarized in Table 2.1. Strengthening of aluminium is usually done by alloying using elements such as copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si) and zinc (Zn) [4].
