Effects of Process Parameters on the Microstructural Properties of MIG and FSW Joints

Abstract

The present research work is undergone to investigate the effect of weld parameters on the microstructural behavior of metal inert gas welding (MIG) and friction stir welding (FSW) joints. The selection of process parameters is important in the welding process to produce the best quality of welded joints. The process parameters of nozzle to plate distance, torch angle and Arc voltage for metal inert gas welding and rotational speed, tool tilt angle and Feed rate for friction stir welding processes are considered. The microstructural study is carried out on the welded joints using scanning electron microscope and the microstructure of friction stir welding process gives the better and defect free welded joints compared to microstructures of Metal inert gas welding process.
