Abstract:

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state metal fusion process that is characterized by several benefits over comparable processes such as a reduction in energy input and low part distortion. This process has been shown to hold great potential in the fusion of dissimilar metals, a technology highly sought after in the aerospace and automotive industries for its promising weight-reduction capabilities. Furthermore, electrically-assisted FSW (EAFSW) is the supplementation of the FSW process with an electrical current. This modification has been shown to improve many parameters; however, the current literature related to this subject is scarce. Herein, the fusion of Al 6061-T651 to mild steel is performed using EAFSW methods. A novel tool constructed a proprietary ceramic, XSYTIN-1, is also tested in this application. It was found that EAFSW improved material flow between the constituent materials; however, was unable to increase the joint strength of the weld. Additionally, it was found that the XSYTIN-1 tool did not exhibit any significant differences when compared to a conventional steel tool.
