Abstract
Over the last two decades, research on FSW has been carried out mainly for aluminium and other “soft” metals such as zinc, magnesium and eventually in copper alloys. FSW of titanium or titanium alloys, stainless steel and nickel based alloys have revealed certain challenges, especially in term of cost and durability of the tool. Likewise, assembly of dissimilar metals (e.g. Ti/Al, Fe/Al) has also been challenging, while having difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion and melting temperature. Dissimilar joints also prone to the formation of hot tears and presence of brittle intermetallics; they are detrimental to the joints. A new process called “Friction Melt Bonding”, carried out using a simple flat faced tool, offers interesting capabilities to control intermetallic formation. This franco-belgian CIFRE PhD aims to compare both welding technique (FSW and FMB): microstructures, mechanical properties, design limitations, process parameters and cost for Ti-6Al-4V/Al 6061-T6 and 316L/Al 6061-T6 joints.
