TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to study the effect of rotational speed and tool pin profile on mechanical properties of AA6061 aluminium alloy, and five different tool pin profiles (straight cylindrical, tapered cylinrical, threaded cylinsectrical, triangular, and square) have been used to fabricate the Al-Mg-Si alloy.
Abstract: AA6061 aluminium alloy (Al-Mg-Si alloy) has gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of light weight structures requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. Compared to many of the fusion welding processes that are routinely used for joining structural aluminium alloys, the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process is an emerging solid state joining process in which the material that is being welded does not melt and recast. This process uses a nonconsumable tool to generate frictional heat in the abutting surfaces. The welding parameters such as tool rotational speed, welding speed, axial force, etc., and tool pin profile play a major role in deciding the joint properties. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to study the effect of rotational speed and tool pin profile on mechanical properties of AA6061 aluminium alloy. Five different tool pin profiles (straight cylindrical, tapered cylindrical, threaded cylindrical, triangular, and square) have been used to fabricate ...

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that banana fiber-reinforced composites have high thermal stability up to 220 oC.
Abstract: In recent decades, engineering applications involving polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers have increased significantly due to the advantages not only of favorable composite properties but also of fiber durability and environmental friendly nature. In the present work composites reinforced with upto 20 wt% fabric made of banana, a relatively known natural fiber from India. These banana fibers were cut into a similar average length of 10 and 20 mm and two sets of bio-composites were prepared by compression moulding process with varying weight percentage of epoxy resin by 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. Experimental results showed tensile, flexural and impact strength of bio-composites with up to 15 wt% has increased compared with neat epoxy. However, the mechanical strength has decreased above 15 wt% fiber reinforcement. This is a study of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that banana fiber-reinforced composites have high thermal stability up to 220 oC.
