Abstract
This study investigates the friction stir butt of 2024 aluminum alloy with 6061-T6 aluminum alloy using both double rotating shoulder friction stir welding (double rotating shoulder friction stir welding, DRS-FSW) and conventional friction stir welding (FSW) techniques. The differences in joint structure and morphology and mechanical properties between DRS-FSW and FSW joints were investigated. Defect-free joints were obtained for both DRS-FSW and FSW at a rotational speed of 600 r/min and a welding speed of 30 mm/min. Compared to the cross-section morphology of the dissimilar aluminum alloy joints of FSW, the morphology of the shoulder-affected zone (SAZ) and weld nugget zone (WNZ) of the DRS-FSW joints is more complex. The longitudinal morphology of the DRS-FSW joints shows complex material flow variations. The microstructure of the weld nugget zone (WNZ) of DRS-FSW joints is dominated by recrystallization. The microhardness magnitude and distribution are approximately the same for both. The FSW tensile properties are higher than those of DRS-FSW. Both DRS-FSW and FSW tensile fracture locations are in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the retreating side (RS) of the joint, and both exhibit ductile behavior. This paper is a further exploratory study of the double stirring technique.
