Investigating steel tool life in the RFSSW process

Journal of Manufacturing Processes, 2020
Abstract Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding (RFSSW) has demonstrated capability in joining thin sheets of aluminum with dissimilar thickness, alloy, and composition. The process remains to be implemented on a wide scale in the automotive and aerospace industries, partially due to the relatively short number of welds producible by a toolset, prior to ...

The analysis of reasons for defects formation in aluminum joints created using RFSSW technology

Manufacturing Letters, 2019
Abstract The paper describes and classifies defects in aluminum joints made using refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) technology, which has potential for replacing riveting as a default joining technology in aviation. Three defect groups were distinguished: at the sleeve-plunger interface, between the sheets and in the joint axis.

Effect of Rotational Speed on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 2060 Aluminum Alloy RFSSW Joint

Metals and Materials International, 2019
Refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) is used to weld 3.2-mm-thick 2060 aluminum alloy sheets. In this study, we investigated the formation, microstructures and mechanical properties of the RFSSW joint. The results show that increasing the rotational speed is beneficial to eliminating annular groove but increasing the flash.

Effect of Rotation Speed on Intermetallic Compounds and Failure Load of RFSSW-ed Dissimilar Al/Mg

Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals, 2019
In this work, refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) was used to join 5083 Al and AZ31. The effect of rotation speed on joint formation, intermetallic compounds (IMCs), and failure load of the welded joints was mainly studied. The results showed that dissimilar Al/Mg alloys could be successfully joined by RFSSW, and defect-free joints were obtained ...

Analysis and Comparison between Different Joining Technology of Aircraft Structures including Innovative FSW and RFSSW Processes

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 75th Annual Forum, 2019
One of the alternative method for welding method is a friction stir welding (FSW), which was developed in 1991 at TWI Ltd. (The Welding Institute) in the United Kingdom, initially especially for joining aluminum and its alloys [1]. This process consists in joining of materials in solid state, which eliminates the problems resulting from melting

Strength evaluation of beam made of the aluminum 6061-T6 and titanium grade 5 alloys sheets joined by RFSSW and RSW

Composite Structures, 2017
Abstract The paper presents the strength evaluation of the beam made of the sheets from the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and titanium alloy grade 5. The beam was made of two C-profiles connected by the webs, with the flanges reinforced by the flat bars. Channels were made by bending alloy aluminum 6061-T6 sheets with a thickness of 0.8 mm.
