Comparitive Static Analysis Using Finite Element Techniques for Lap and Butt Welded Joints

EasyChair Preprint no. 7338

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding is a solid-state welding technique, using which we can attain welds with reduced distortion and improved mechanical properties in similar as well as dissimilar metals. Various properties of metals and their alloys are analyzed to choose the best combination of metals that can effectively create lap and butt joints. In this study Aluminium (Al) and Magnesium (Mg) are chosen as dissimilar metals due to their wide spread applications. The welds are designed and analyzed based on the effect Tensile stress, Shear stresses and deformation by using simulation software and comparing the results with practically obtained Tensile and Shear Stress Values tested on Universal testing machine. In this study, using Friction Stir Welding technique lap and butt joints are made which are subjected to the structural analysis were analyzed using CAD and CAE software.

Keyphrases: Aluminium, Butt joint, Dissimilar metals, Friction stir welding, Lap joint, Magnesium
