Abstract

Frictions stir welding having the power to be used as various packages. But, It is very compulsory to conquer little demanding situations for its more-unfold utilization. Device physical appearance and choice of the methods parameters are vital troubles in the utilization of this method. Three specific device pin geometries (cylindrical threaded, Conical Threaded, MX-Trivex) and two distinctive manner changebles, i.e. rotational speeds and welding speeds had been decided on for the extended research. The welded specimens had been experimented for mechanical characteristics. It became located that rectangular pin profile gave better weld fine than the opposite profiles.
