Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the weld parameters required in order to successfully join AA6061-T6 plates with four different thicknesses by FSW. For this purpose, four different stirring tools (one tool for each plate thickness) have been obtained and used to determine suitable weld parameters for each plate thickness. The microstructures of the joints obtained were investigated in both macro- and micro-scale, and their mechanical properties were determined by conducting microhardness measurements and tensile testing. The current study clearly indicated that AA6061-T6 plates with different thicknesses can be successfully FS welded provided that suitable stirring tools and weld parameters are used.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, dört farklı kalınlıktaki AA6061-T6 levhaların sürtünme karıştırma kaynağı ile hatasız birleştirilebilmesi için kullanılması gereken kaynak parametreleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, her bir levha kalınlığı için bir olmak üzere, dört farklı karıştırıcı takım temin edilmiş ve bu uçlar kullanılarak her bir levha kalınlığı için uygun kaynak parametreleri tayin edilmiştir. Elde edilen kaynaklı bağlantıların makro ve mikro boyutta içyapısı incelenmiş, çekme deneyi ve sertlik ölçümleri ile mekanik özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, farklı kalınlıklardaki AA6061-T6 alaşımı levhaların uygun karıştırıcı takımlar ve kaynak parametreleri ile başarılı bir şekilde birleştirilebileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
