Study The Role Of Friction Stir Welding Tilt Angle On Microstructure And Hardness On Dissimilar Materials

Abstract

This paper present an investigation of research objectives on the effect of tilt angle on microstructure and mechanical properties of dissimilar aluminium alloy sheets between AA5083 and AA6061, 5mm plates by using Friction Stir Welding (FSW)process in butt joint. The base materials of AA5083 and AA6061 were located on the retreating side (RS) and advancing side (AS), respectively.
