Exploring the features of Infrared Thermography for Friction stir welding process – a tool of new era
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a well-known process adopted for joining of different metals and alloys. The process invented by TWI, UK in 1991, is widely used in marine and aerospace industries. Major thrust was given on the effect of tool design and effect of process variables on quality of weld. Thermal analysis of the weldments is very lean in literature. The researchers have used thermocouples for temperature measurement. Infrared thermography is widely used for preventive maintenance in industries. The present paper is different from the view of applying a new concept of IR Thermal imaging for testing and thermal analysis. The technique was adopted by the author to know its utility for FS Welding. It was found to have a great potential in adapting the IR Thermography for friction stir welding experiments.
