Abstract

Friction stir welding is a technique of combining harmless for the environment because it doesn’t use flux or any other shield gas and doesn’t produce hazardous gas. To study the FSW process on composite material this work offers an experimental enquiry and optimisation technique. In this investigated how input process operating factors like tool rotational speed, feed rate and depth of cut affect an output parameter like hardness of welded connections and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), Microstructure and metallurgical on the metal. To achieve this L27 Taguchi approach orthogonal array used to optimise design tests on friction stir welding parameters and also HCHCr tool used to improve the good weld ability and to increase the heat input. The experimental setup is run with several combinations of process parameters such as 900, 1000, and 1200 rpm of Tool rotational speed 20 mm, 25 and 30 mm as feed rate by adjusting the depth of cut values of 5.4 mm, 5.6 mm and 5.8 mm respectively. Additionally, utilising the regression analysis equations (ANOVA) used to identify the significant input parameters how it effects for the output metal structure. Finally, by achieved effective evaluation of the metallurgical and microstructure on the nylon 6A metal by various analysis and Testing.
