Investigation of the friction stir welding conditions of V95T2 high-strength aluminium alloy

Abstract

The feasibility of friction stir welding of structures made of high-strength aluminium alloys with the V95 alloy used as an example is confirmed. The method of modelling the process of formation of the welded joint using plasticine simulation is described. The maximum temperature and its distribution both in the specimen and in the working tool in friction stir welding of V95 aluminium alloy are determined.
