Faculty of Engineering, the Built Environment and Information Technology P.O. Box 77000, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth, South Africa December, 2010 Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process invented and patented by The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991, for joining ferrous and non-ferrous materials1. The FSW of Aluminium and its alloys has been commercialised; and recent interest is focused on joining dissimilar materials. However, in order to commercialise the process, research studies are required to characterise and establish process windows. This research work through material characterisation of the welded joints establishes a process window for the Friction Stir welding of 5754 Aluminium Alloy and C11000 Copper. Furthermore, preliminary studies83,85 on the FSW of aluminium and copper have revealed the presence of intermetallic compounds which are detrimental to the weld qualities. This research work is also aimed at establishing process parameters that will result in limited or no intermetallic formation in the weld. The joint integrity of the resulting welds will also be correlated with the input process parameters. Based on the preliminary investigations conducted, a final weld matrix consisting of twenty seven welds was produced by varying the rotational speed between 600 and 1200 rpm, and the feed rate between 50 and 300 mm/min using three different shoulder diameter tools – 15, 18 and 25 mm to compare the heat input into the welds and to achieve the best results. The welds were characterised through microstructural evaluation, tensile testing, microhardness profiling, X-Ray Diffraction analysis, electrical resistivity and statistical analysis – in order to establish the inter- relationship between the process parameters and the weld qualities. vii Microstructural evaluation of the weld samples revealed that the interfacial regions are characterised by mixture layers of aluminium and copper; while 33 % of the tensile samples are within the acceptable range (> 75 % joint efficiency). High Vickers microhardness values were measured at the joint interfaces, which corresponded with the intermetallic compounds. The Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of thin layers of intermetallics in nanoscale at the interfacial regions. The diffractograms of the X-Ray Diffraction analysis showed small peaks for intermetallics in some of the welds. Low electrical resistivities were measured at the joint interfaces. The statistical analysis showed that the downward vertical force, (Fz) can significantly influence the resulting weld qualities. An overall summary of the analysis of the weld qualities - with respect to the shoulder diameter tools employed showed that the 18 mm shoulder diameter tool is most appropriate among the three shoulder diameters considered, and a process window of medium spindle speed of 950 rpm and low-to-medium feed rate between 50 and 150 mm/min is established for FSW of Aluminium and Copper. Welds produced at 1200 rpm and 300 mm/min with low heat input did not have intermetallics formed at the joint interface. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright Statement ii Author’s Declaration iv Acknowledgement v Abstract vii Abbreviations xiii Nomenclature xiv List of Figures xv List of Tables xxi Glossary of Terms xxiii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 1 1.2 Problem Statement ..................................................................................... 2 1.3 Aim ............................................................................................................. 2 1.4 Objectives ................................................................................................... 3 1.5 The Hypothesis Statement.......................................................................... 3 1.6 Research Methods ...................................................................................... 3 1.7 Delimitation ................................................................................................. 4 1.8 Significance of the Research .....................................................................

The annealed AA-6063 alloy was processed up to three passes of MDF at ambient temperature. Three passes of this process were also applied to the solution-treated AA-6063 at ambient temperature and 177 ◦C. Microstructural investigations demonstrated that the MDF process led to a significant reduction in the average grain size as well as a considerable increase in the fraction of low angle grain boundaries. Texture analysis revealed that copper and Goss textures were mainly developed within the annealed and solution-treated samples of AA-6063, respectively.

Prof. Dr.Ghulam Hussain __________________________ ABSTRACT Single point incremental forming (SPIF) process is considered as a cost-effective method to fabricate sheet metals because there is no need for dedicated dies which are used in other conventional processes. Due to the capability of forming sheets on CNC machines, the flexibility of this process is high which allows the operator to modify the geometry of the product much easier than the other methods like stamping. This study is carried out to investigate the effects of different forming parameters on the mechanical properties and microstructures of formed parts. The effects of wall angle, feed rate, spindle speed and lubrication are explored on AA5754 and AA6061 Aluminium Alloys.

  • Welding of Magnesium Alloys
    Chapter 6 Welding of Magnesium Alloys Parviz Asadi, Kamel Kazemi-Choobi and Amin Elhami Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/47849 1. Introduction Magnesium is the sixth most abundant element on the Earth’s surface, with virtually inex- haustible supplies in the oceans. It is the third most plentiful element dissolved in seawater, with an approximate concentration of 0.14% (Busk, 1987). Over recent years the industrial output of magnesium alloys has been rising by almost 20% per annum. Magnesium and its alloys, as the lightest structural material, are about 40% lighter than aluminium and as much as about 78% lighter than steel. It is demonstrated that using magnesium alloys results in a 22–70% weight reduction, compared to using alternative materials (Kulekci, 2008). Magne- sium alloys have excellent specific strength, excellent sound damping capabilities, good cast-ability, hot formability, excellent machinability, good electromagnetic interference shielding, and recyclability (Haferkamp et al., 2000), (Mordike and Ebert, 2001), (Pastor et al., 2000). Moreover, magnesium ignites with difficulty in air due to its high heat capacity. Some disadvantages of magnesium are presented based on the following, Low elastic modulus; High degree of shrinkage on solidification; High chemical reactivity. Additionally, these alloys have limited fatigue and creep resistance at elevated temperatures (Mordike and Ebert, 2001). Because of the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure, magnesium alloys also have a limited ductility and cold workability at room temperature (Sanders et al., 1999). These alloys have about the same corrosion resistance in common environments as mild steel, but are less corrosion resistant than aluminium alloys (Busk, 1987).

Constructing large mirrors from aluminium could cut the cost of production by one third. A new generation of very large telescopes is being designed, on the order of 100 meters diameter. The proposed designs are of mosaic type mirrors similar to the Keck Telescope primary. The enormous mass of glass required inhibits the construction, simply by its cost and production time. Very little research has been done on the processes involved in the production of large metal mirrors.
