Description
Summary:The purpose of this research is to investigate the results of continuous drive friction welding on aluminum alloy AA 6061. Friction welding is considered to be very effective because it is developed without the use of fillers. In this study, the welding process was initiated by providing annealing treatment to maintain the homogeneity of the two materials at a temperature of 34⁰C for 120 minutes. The two ends of the material are connected with a final pressure of 6 MPa and a time of 120 seconds. The conditions of friction in welding are varied with the engine rotating speed of 255, 405, 615, 980 Rpm according to the machine capacity. The mechanical and physical properties of the material were investigated by means of tensile tests, bending tests, hardness tests for HAZ areas and observation of welding macro photos. In this study, it was found that high welding rotational speed can provide poor mechanical properties of the welded joint due to high porosity.
