Abstract
A novel three-dimensional numerical model is proposed to investigate the effect of tool eccentricity on the coupled thermal and material flow characteristics in friction stir welding (FSW) process. An asymmetrical boundary condition at the tool−workpiece interface, and the dynamic mesh technique are both employed for the consideration of the tool eccentricity during tool rotating. It is found that tool eccentricity induces the periodical variation of the heat densities both at the tool−workpiece interface and inside the shear layer, but the fluctuation amplitudes of the heat density variations are limited. However, it is demonstrated that tool eccentricity results in significant variation of the material flow behavior in one tool rotating period. Moreover, the material velocity variation at the retreating side is particularly important for the formation of the periodic characteristics in FSW. The modeling result is found to be in good agreement with the experimental one.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
