Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a metal joining process has its own benefits over fusion welding processes. FSW AluminiumMetal Matrix Composites (AMMC) replaced conventional metals for structural applications in aerospace, automobile andmarine sectors. In this present investigation, process parameters of FSW for joining AA 6063-SiC-B4C hybrid MMCs wereoptimized in order to achieve maximum tensile strength. Initially, AMMC was manufactured through stir casting with thematrix AA 6063 and reinforcements SiC and B4C. The hybrid MMC work pieces were subjected to FSW process by varyingthe process parameters such as tool rotation speed, welding speed and axial force using Taguchi L27 orthogonal array. Tensilestrength of hybrid composite was examined and regression analysis were done using MINITAB V17 software. GeneticAlgorithm technique was used to optimize the tensile strength with FSW parametric combinations. The optimum parametersfor FSW of AA6063-SiC-B4C hybrid composites were Tool rotational speed (TRS) ? 1050 rpm; Axial Force (AF) ? 10 kN andWeld Speed (WS) ? 45 mm/min obtained. The optimal parameters were applied to experimental study and the results werevalidated.
