Abstract

Pipe of AISI-316L austenitic stainless steel was successfully friction stir welded at various speeds (mm/min) and feed rate (RPM). The tool has WRe (Tungsten-Rhenium) shank and convex face with stepped spirals of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) coating over 14.5 mm diameter and 6 mm axial length. The present investigation is done in position control mode of the equipment. The vertical as well as lateral forces were recorded along with the spindle torque. The trends of the forces and torque are presented along with co-relation if any. This would help to understand the influence of the process parameters (welding speed, rotational speed) on the weldment.
