Abstract EN
The current research focuses on the mechanical properties and the microstructural behavior of friction stir spot-welded 6061-T6 aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC nanoparticles.
Weld samples are produced with and without the addition of SiC nanoparticles to the joint.
The microhardness and lap shear strength of the joints are investigated.
The cross section of welds and the fracture surfaces are studied by a stereo zoom microscope.
Microstructure and distribution of reinforced particles in the stir zone are examined through optical and scanning electron microscopies.
It is observed that the reinforcement of SiC nanoparticles significantly influences the grain size and hence the weld properties.
The highest hardness of 93 HV and the maximum shear load of 2650.5 N are observed at the stir zone of the sample with 29% SiC.
All the weld samples exhibit the similar “W” shape hardness profile.
From the observed results, the selected set of process parameters is found adequate in order to fabricate sound Al/SiC composite joints.
