Manufacturing tiny components into gigantic structures seems unimaginable without welding connections, whether it is for materials, parts, structures, or equipment. In the recent competitive market scenario, manufacturing industries are desperately looking for a viable alternative to fusion-based conventional material joining technologies, to improve upon cost-effectiveness along with performance. The present investigation is to evaluate the performance of structural steel thick plate joints prepared by advanced solid-state friction stir welding (FSW) over conventional metal active gas welding (MAG). The FSW experiments were carried out with different tool designs and configurations. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of microstructural integrity and mechanical joint resistance. Impressive results were obtained with FSW joints, characterized by an almost defect-free microstructure with a leaner heat-affected zone and higher joint resistance as compared to conventional MAG-welded joints

Abstract

Manufacturing tiny components into gigantic structures seems unimaginable without welding connections, whether it is for materials, parts, structures, or equipment. In the recent competitive market scenario, manufacturing industries are desperately looking for a viable alternative to fusion-based conventional material joining technologies, to improve upon cost-effectiveness along with performance. The present investigation is to evaluate the performance of structural steel thick plate joints prepared by advanced solid-state friction stir welding (FSW) over conventional metal active gas welding (MAG). The FSW experiments were carried out with different tool designs and configurations. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of microstructural integrity and mechanical joint resistance. Impressive results were obtained with FSW joints, characterized by an almost defect-free microstructure with a leaner heat-affected zone and higher joint resistance as compared to conventional MAG-welded joints
