Taguchi Optimization of Process Parameters in Friction Stir Spot Welding of AA5754 and AA2024 Alloys
Abstract:
The feasibility of friction stir spot welding was studied on AA5754-H22 and AA2024-T3 aluminum alloys which have widespread applications in aircraft and automotive industries. The quality of the joint was evaluated by examining the characteristics of the joint as a result of lap-shear fracture load. Taguchi approach of the parameter design was used as a statistical design of experiment technique to set the optimal welding parameters. The experiments were arranged by using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The signal-to-noise ratio and the analysis of variance were utilized to obtain the influence of the friction stir spot welding parameters on the lap-shear fracture load. Finally, the results were confirmed by further experiments.
