Abstract
Friction stir welding (FSW) is one of the most modern technology of joining metals and their alloys in solid state. The possibility of joining elements of aluminum alloys makes it possible to use this method in the production of aircraft structures. This technology provides a reduction of labor consumption, cost and weight of structures, while maintaining comparable or better strength properties as compared to conventional methods of joining. Quality assurance of joining requires selection of the optimal process parameters such as tool rotational speed and feed rate. The paper presents the results of the welding process of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy sheet with a thickness of 1 mm carried out in accordance with the study plan PS / DK32. Welding tests were conducted on a universal vertical milling machine, and strength tests included static tensile test. In the final part of the article the analysis and interpretation of research results were performed.
