Study ou Strength of Friction Stir Welded Plate in Corner Joint Configuration

This report is a representation of the project background regarding on Fiction Stir
Welding (FSW) in Corner Joint Configuration. Nowadays, there are many process
involving the FSW butt joint but very rare involve in corner joint configuration. FSW
process has a lot of advantages to the materials especially for aluminum alloy 6061
Series. The objective of the project is to study the strength of the corner joint friction stir
welded plate. Furthermore, there is no one did the research about the strength of the
corner joint FS welded plate. Thus, to study the strength, there are several tests can be
done such as ballistic shock test, basic destructive test, fillet-welded test, peel-off test
and microhardness test. This research is focusing on corner joint configuration that has
90 degree in position. Furthermore, FSW in corner joint has been conducted and the
result was discussed in the result section about the surface roughness and the parameter
of the FSW. In addition, strength value and hardness value has been analyzed and
discussed briefly to meet the objective of this project.
