Abstract:

Friction stir process is a solid state technology with increasing applications in the context of localized surface engineering. FSP has been investigated mainly for producing fine grained coatings, which exhibit superior wear and corrosion properties. Since no bulk melting takes place, this process allows dissimilar joining of materials that would be otherwise incompatible or difficult to deposit by fusion based methods. Main applications include surface properties improvement and coating. A wide range of material combinations have been deposited by FSP, mainly alloy and stainless steels. Aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys have also been investigated, including the production of metal matrix composites. In this report coating of AISI 304 stainless steel powders was used as coating material and it is applied on low carbon steel. For above coating purpose we use non-consumable W C tool. The main process parameters are Tool RPM, Normal force, travel speed. In this report thermal model is made by using moving co-ordinate system in order to get temperature distribution across plate. This temperature data from FEA is used as input to the further analytical calculations. Free- Free vibration analysis is done on the steel plate and Zinc coated plate and natural frequencies are extracted. Stress analysis of steel plate and Zinc coated plate is done using experimentally and FEA. Bend test and Wear test is performed on Steel plate and Zinc coated plate.
