  Fatigue Study of Friction Stir Welded and TIG Welded AA 6061 Alloy Similar Joints

  By Akshansh Mishra, Adarsh Tiwari, Chandan Kumar, Nitin Kumar Dubey, Atul Tiwari

  Abstract: In this study, Al-Mg-Si alloy plates in 4 mm thickness that are particularly used for aerospace and automotive industries were welded using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and Friction Stir Welding (FSW) methods as similar joints with one side pass with parameters of varying tool rotation, weld speed and 2.3 degree tool tilt angle. Tensile tests results showed high yield stress values for FSW joints. Micro Vickers hardness test gave …
