Design Analysis and Effect of Process Parameters on ‘Fsbw’ of Al (2618a)-SIC Alloy

Abstract

The research in fabrication engineering is much focused on the new or betterment in the existing metal joining techniques. In the view of the demand in improvement of the quality , strength and efficiency of welded joins , the present research is focused on design for tensile strength and optimization of friction stir butt welding(FSBW)of aluminum(2618A) and silicon carbide alloy. The design analysis is carried out for tensile strength and hardness. . The functioning parameters such as tool rotational speed, transverse speed, plunge depth and tilting angle are considered. The Taguichi technique and ANOVA are used in optimization of process parameters. The high S/N ratios are mainly considered to analyze the results for tensile strength and hardness.
