Abstract

The paper deals with the heat input and maximum temperature that develops in friction stir welding with different welding parameters. The finite element method has been used for numerical analysis of temperature distribution in a friction stir welded Al alloy. Results of temperature distribution in the friction stir welded T-joint and butt joint are presented.

Keywords: friction stir welding, aluminium alloys, numerical analysis, temperature fields
