This paper analyzes the influence of friction stir welding parameters on the thermo-mechanical behavior of the material. By using a finite element model and the Johnson-Cook material model, the effects of rotating speed and welding speed on heat generation are studied. It is found that improper selection of welding parameters can result in defects in the model.
The influence of friction stir welding parameters on thermo-mechanical behav-ior of the material during welding is analyzed. An aluminum alloy is considered (Al 2024 T351), and different rotating and welding speeds are applied. The finite element model consists of the working plate (Al alloy), backing plate and welding tool. The influence of the welding conditions on material behavior is taken into account the application of the Johnson-Cook material model. The rotation speed of the tool affects the results. If increased, it contributes to an increase of friction-gen-erated heat intensity. The other component of the generated heat, which stems from the plastic deformation of the material, is negligibly changed. When the welding speed, i.e. tool translation speed, is increased, the intensity of friction-generated heat decreases, while the heat generation due to plastic deforming is becoming more pronounced. Summed, this leads to rather small change of the total genera-tion. The changes of the heat generation influence both the temperature field and reaction force. Also, the inadequate selection of welding parameters resulted in occurrence of the defects (pores) in the model.
