This paper aimed to study and understand the mechanical phenomena of thermal elasto-plastic behavior on the dissimilar butt joint (Al 6061-T6 and STS304) by TIG assisted Friction Stir Welding. Heat conduction and residual stress analysis is carried out using in-house solver. Two-dimensional results of the heat distribution and residual stresses in dissimilar joint for particular tool geometry and material properties are presented. The predicted stress along longitudinal direction in Al 6061-T6 and STS304 are approximately between 12-15% of their respective yield strengths. A comparison is made between experimentally measured and numerically predicted equivalent residual stress values.

A study was carried out to grow an understanding of the microstructural development of friction stir welds on an AZ91D magnesium alloy, and to evaluate the mechanical properties of the welds. AZ91D plates with the thickness of 4mm were used, and the microstructural development of the weld zone was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopes. Square butt welding joint with good quality was obtained at the conditions of under 187mm/min of travel speed with 1100 to 1250 rpm of tool rotation speed. The microstructure within the weld region consisted of fine equiaxed grains with no evidence of the original dendritic structure. The hardness tests showed slightly increased harness in the weld region, and the minimum hardness measured is in that of the parent material. Tensile strength of the weld zone was remarkably improved due to very fine recrystallized structure. XRD pattern of weld zone revealed the removal of $\beta$ intermetallic compounds, $Mg_{17}$Al$_{12}$, which had been distributed in the base metal.l.

Friction stir welding is one of the interesting welding methods for titanium and its alloy which proceeds with plastic flow due to thermo-mechanical stirring and friction heat. Solid-state welding can solve severe problems such as high-temperature oxidation, interstitial oxygen diffusion and grain coarsening by liquid-state welding. Dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement can vary significantly with the plunging load and rotational speed of tool during friction stir welding, and suitable process conditions must be optimized to obtain microstructure and better mechanical characteristics. Suitable FSW conditions were 1000 kg of plunging load and 200 rpm of rotational speed and it showed YS 270 MPa, UTS 332.1 MPa, and El 17.3%, which were very similar to those of wrought titanium sheet.

In this study, the mechanical properties of friction stir welded A6061-T6 were evaluated. This material is used as a battery pack case material for electric vehicles. The Vickers hardness, tensile strength, and yield stress of the friction stir welding (FSW) specimen were all smaller than those of the base metal specimen. As the heat input increased, the nugget zone widened, and there were differences in hardness according to the base metal zone, heat affected zone, thermal-mechanical affected zone, and nugget zone. Mechanical properties were not proportional to heat input, and the thermal-mechanical affected zone on the advancing side was the smallest in all conditions. This is because the material flow speed increased on the advancing side, where the welding direction and the tool rotation direction were the same, forming a distinct boundary with mechanical deformation.

To evaluate the applicability of dissimilar joining between Mg and Al alloys in automobile manufacturing process, solid state joining processes such as magnetic pulse welding(MPW), friction stir welding(FSW) and friction spot joining(FSJ) were attempted successfully. MPW process has been concentrated mainly on round section tube to tube and tube to bar welds. AZ31 Mg alloy has been successfully welded to pure Al A1070 as well as to Al alloy A3003. While, for friction stir welding of dissimilar sheet joints, AZ31B/A6061 with the thickness of 2mm were used and a square butt joint with a good quality was obtained at the conditions of 0.8mm/sec of travel speed and tool rotation speed of 850rpm. The maximum tensile strength of 179 MPa, which was about 80 % of the Mg base metal tensile strength, has been obtained. Finally, friction spot joining was attempted to make a dissimilar lap joint between AZ31(0.8mm) and A6061(1mm), while the joint exhibited the same level of tensile shear strength as that of similar Mg joint.

본 연구에서는 이종경량재료의 마찰교반용접을 모사할 수 있는 유한요소 해석모델을 개발하고, 이를 통해 기초분석과 실용적 적용 가능성에 대해 고찰하였다. Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian 에 기반한 유한요소모델을 구성하였으며, 해석 모델은 외연적 시간적분을 이용하여 열-온도, 변위-응력 물리계로 이루어진 다중 물리계를 복합적으로 계산하며, 용접툴 표면과 피용접 재료 간 마찰, 극심한 소성변형으로 인한 열에너지 발생, 그리고, 밑면을 통한 열에너지 소산 등 열발생원과 열전달 메카니즘이 모두 고려되었다. Al6061T6와 AZ61 판재의 맞대기용접을 고려하였으며, 주요 용접변수인 용접 속도와 용접툴 회전속도를 변화시킨 세 가지 조건에 대해 해석을 실시하였다. 각 해석은 피용접물의 온도분포, 결함의 분포, 소성변형률 분포가 출력이 가능하였다. 구축한 모델을 이용한 해석 결과 알루미늄보다는 마그네슘부에서 더 높은 온도가 발생하였으며, 회전속도가 커질수록 최대 온도가 증가하기보다는 알루미늄쪽으로 높은 온도가 분산되어 가는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 회전속도가 커질수록 피용접물 재료가 위로 올라오는 플래시 결함의 경향 예측이 가능하였으나, 툴 주변 결함 형성예측은 메시가 세밀하지 못하여 정확한 결과를 산출하기에는 부족하다고 볼 수 있다. 본 모델은 마찰교반용접 중 발생 가능한 여러 물리계의 여러 물리적 현상을 실제에 가깝게 반영하고 있으며, 실험적으로 밝히기 어려운 기초 분석에 응용될 수 있으나, 1달이 넘는 해석소요시간을 감안하면 실용적으로 최적의 용접조건 도출에 응용되기는 어렵다고 판단된다.
