Temperature measurement in FSW operations The welding temperature is an essential parameter for the quality control of welding. A too hot weld can result in a nugget collapse or reduction of mechanical properties. On the contrary, a too cold weld may cause poor stirring or wormhole. Now you can control the temperature of your weld to ensure its quality thanks to the Stirweld solution: the smart FSW tool holder. |

WHY IS THE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT ESSENTIAL IN FSW?
Friction stir welding is a cold-welding technique, i.e., it does not reach the melting point of the material. The welding temperature is therefore essential for a defect-free quality weld.
If an FSW weld is too hot, it can lead to weld defects such as nugget collapses or reduced mechanical properties. If the weld is too cold, poor stirring, or wormholes can occur.
Therefore, measuring the welding temperature allows you to quality control 100% of your welds while dividing by 5 your non-destructive control tests.
Comparison between hot weld, cold weld & defect free weld
 |
For hot welds, the maximum temperature does not exceed the melting temperature. In this case, the melting temperature is equal to 555°C. |
Which parameters affect the welding temperature?
|
The weld temperature depends on rotational speed and welding speed. Below we will see the impact if the weld is too hot, too cold and how we can reach defect free weld. The material is brought to a 400°C temperature thanks to the FSW tool. PHENOMENA 1: Heating by the tool friction on the material. PHENOMENA 2: Material flow due to the tool stirring. |

What happens when the temperature rises or falls? What is the impact on the FSW weld quality?

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES The rotational speed is high & the welding speed is low |
QUALITY CONTROL WELDS Maximum temperature does not exceed the melting temperature |
WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DECREASES The rotational speed is low & the welding speed is high |

TEMPERATURE MAPPING
 |
As we can see on the graph, having a defect-free weld depends first of all on the correct welding parameters: rotation speed, welding speed, tool geometry, force control. Indeed, all these parameters will influence the quality of the weld because the more friction you use, the more you heat and the faster you weld, the less you heat. It is therefore necessary to find the right balance between both. |
Without this temperature control…
Insufficient temperature would make it difficult to mix the parts, creating poor stirring or wormholes.
Too high temperature, approaching the melting point of the welded material, could lead to nugget collapse or reducing mechanical properties.
With this temperature control…
Quality control process: temperature control results in quality welds and therefore dividing by 5 the non-destructive control tests (bend test, leak test…).
