Recently, extruded aluminium-alloy panels have been used in the car bodies in order to meet the needs for the speed-up and light-weight of the railway vehicles. Most of the car bodies were jointed by arc weldings, like GMAW (GasMetal Arc Welding) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), but these weldings became fairly worse the mechanical properties of the junction than the base metal. Nowadays, FSW (Friction Stir Welding), which is superior to the arc weldings, has been applied in the railway vehicles. In this study, the mechanical properties of the joints in both FSW and GMAW for A6005 extruded aluminium-alloy sheets have discussed. In addition, the relationships between the welding conditions and the mechanical properties for the joint of FSW have analyzed through the sensitivity analysis. It can be concluded that the mechanical properties for the joint of FSW are better than those of GMAW and the welding speed is the most sensible welding condition in the process of FSW.

Dissimilar joining of aluminum 6061-T6 alloy to aluminum 5083-O alloy was performed using friction-stir welding technique. The mechanical properties, hardness, macro- and micro-structure on dissimilar friction-stir-weld aluminium alloy were investigated. Mechanical properties of the weld mainly depend on which Al alloy is placed at the retreating sides of the rotating tool respectively during dissimilar friction-stir weld because the microstructure of stir zone was mainly composed of welded Al alloys of the retreating side. Onion ring pattern was observed like lamella structure stacked by each Al alloy in turn. It apparently results in defect-free weld zone that traverse speed was changed to 124 mm/min under conditions of tool rotation speed like 1250 rpm with 5 mm of tool's prove diameter, 4.5 mm of prove length, 20 mm of shoulder diameter, and $2^{\circ}$ of tilting angle. The 231 MPa of ultimate stress and the 121 MPa of yield point are obtained about the friction-stir-welded Al 6061-T6(AS) to Al 5083-O(RS).

Extruded aluminium panels have been widely used for railway vehicle structures because -of their light specific weight and other merits. In the past, GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) were mainly used to join aluminium panels. But recently friction stir welding (FSW) is widely used due to its lots of advantage. In this study aluminium A6005 which is used for car body structures was chosen. The influences of main parameters on mechanical properties such as: pin (tool) rotating speed, pin transition speed, shoulder, diameter, pin length and tilting angle were examined. Optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, micro hardness tests, and tensile tests were carried out.

1991년 영국의 TWI(The Welding Institute)에서 처음 FSW(Friction Stir Welding)가 개발된 이후로 전 세계적으로 관심이 증가하여 꾸준한 연구가 계속되고 있다. FSW공정은 특수하게 설계된 용접툴(tool)을 특정한 회전수로 회전시키면서 용접하고자 하는 재료의 용접라인에 삽입하여 용접에 필요한 마찰열과 소성변형을 발생시키고, 그 후 용접라인을 따라 툴을 이동시킴으로써 용접이 이루어지는 매우 간단한 공정이다. (중략)
