The butt and the lap welding by friction stir welding performs with $2mm^t$ 1050 aluminum alloy sheet. This paper shows behaviors of property such as vickers hardness, yielding and ultimate stresses, and macro structures for weld zone cross section of the butt and the lap jointed specimens. It is also carried out making comparison with maximum loads, stress-strain diagrams, and deformation after the guided bending test and fracture behaviors between the butt and the lap jointed specimens. It is found that the weldability of the butt jointed specimen is better than that of the lap jointed specimen.

Lap joint friction stir welding(LFSW) is an relatively new solid state joining process. A6061-T6 aluminium alloy has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of light weight structures requiring a high strength to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. Test methods used in this paper, lock-in thermography, a phase difference between the defect area and the healthy area indicates the qualitative location and size of the defect. In this paper, the defects detected from the thermal image of mechanical properties for weld were evaluated and compared by the lock-in infrared thermography technique.

알루미늄 합금 재질은 무게의 경량화와 기계적강도가 우수하며 다른 비철금속에 비하여 값이 저렴한 장점이 있다. 현재 산업현장에서 활용하는 가장 흔한 접합법으로 TIG, RSW 등과 같은 용융 용접법을 현재는 많이 사용 하고 있지만 열전도도가 높아 열 확산이 빠르고, 이에 따라 모재의 팽창이 일어나 열변형을 유발하며, 산화피막은 그 내부에 함유된 결정수가 아크용접 중 분해되어 수소를 방출함으로 기공이 발생하여 부도체로 저항용접시 전도성을 방해하는 등의 문제를 발생시킨다. 또한 철에 비해 4배정도 큰 전기전도율에 따라 저항용접시 대전류를 사용해야 하는 등의 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 알루미늄 합금의 용융용접 과정에서 발생하는 단점을 극복하는 기술로 고상접합 방법인 마찰교반용접법(Friction Stir Welding)이 활용되고 있다. FSW는 1991년 영국의 TWI에서 개발된 최신 용접법으로 모재를 용융점 아래에서 고상용접시키는 방법으로 용융에 따른 열변형과 흄가스(hume gas)와 스패터(spatter)를 억제시켜 주는 친환경적인 용접법이다. 이러한 마찰교반용접의 기술은 그동안 특허에 따른 로열티가 산업현장에서 사용하는데 문제가 되었으나 특허보호 기간인 20년이 1년정도의 기간밖에 남지 않은 상황에서 그 사용은 날로 증가하리라 본다. 이러한 마찰교반용접부의 결함을 평가하는 방법에는 UT, RT 등이 활용되고 있으나 얇은 박판에서의 결함검출은 용이하지 않다. 이리한 문제점을 해결하기위하여 초음파 가진을 이용한 적외선 열화상 검출 기법을 이용하여 마찰교반용접부의 결함 검출 가능성을 연구하였다. 20kHz의 주파수를 400Watt로 가진시켜 겹치기(lap joint) 마찰교반용접이된 A6061-T6의 용접부에 초음파를 입사하였을 때 발생하는 열을 적외선 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 측정함으로써 마찰교반겹치기 용접부의 결함 검출에 활용하였다. 용접부에 초음파를 입사하였을 때 부분적으로 온도차이가 발생하였고, 그에 따른 열화상을 검출 할 수 있었다. 이러한 열화상과 실제 시험편의 용접부의 강도를 평가하기 위하여 인장시험을 하였다. 그 결과 초음파 적외선 열화상 검출에서 발열부위가 나타난 부분이 인장시험에서 낮은 인장강도를 보였다.

This paper shows the possibility of performing Lap joint using the friction stir welding with $2mm^t$ aluminum alloy plate and the determination of tool-dimensions for FSW in milling machine. This research also is reported on obtaining the tensile-shear strength, 91.3 (MPa) and the energy absorption, 26.3 (J) for Lap jointed specimen. The optimal tool-dimensions and method for Lap joint using FSW is as follows; each diameter of shoulder and pin is $9\phi(mm) and 3\phi(mm)$, the length of pin is 3.6(mm), Pressing the shoulder of tool into original base metal is not reasonable.

Development of FSW for use in lap joint production would expend the number of applications that could benefit from the technique. In the study, an extensive investigation was carried out on FSW lap joints, including interface morphology and mechanical properties. Welding variables included welding speed, rotation speed and, of particular importance, lap joint a methods. Examination of metallographic cross sections and failure locations showed a critical sheet interface present in all welds. Results indicates FSW lap joints may potentially replace other joining processes like resistance spot welding and riveting.

Of typical welding techniques, to employ the heat for joining process is the most commonly used welding process. But there arise difficulties when this process is applied to light weight alloys such as Aluminium alloy. In this respect, Friction Stir Welding(FSW), a solid-state joining process, is the most effective welding technique with significant potential for various industrial applications. In this study, the characteristics of lapping FSW Al 5052 alloy are shown under a variety of welding parameters such as the rotation speed of FSW tool and welding velocity. Conclusively, the welding properties of lapping FSW Al 5052 were found to be dominated by the deformation of non-joining area near the welding nugget rather than other factors such as the thermal input.

Recently, the use of means of transportation of the lightweight aluminum to temper the trend is increasing. More efficient use of lightweight aluminum material to Friction stir welding has been widely attempted. Types of welding tools at the right screw to rotate anti-clockwise direction, when the tensile stress exerted on the location of the top plate to the left in the direction of the welding process to the installation was able to obtain high tensile strength. A5052 to the top of the left in the direction of the welding process to install and, when you installed the right under the A6061 was not easily come up to the top of the A5052. Conversely, at the bottom left to install on top of the A6061 and A5052 have been installed at the bottom of the upper area of the A6061 and A5052 intrude easily form the shape of the hill you can see that it was formed.
