Résumé

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a joining process which is performed at low temperatures, lower than the melting temperature of the base material, thus it is considered a solid state welding process. This feature makes it suitable for copper welding, material whose thermal diffusivity is higher than that of most steel alloys. Large heat losses identified at copper welding by fusion welding processes are thus reduced using FSW process. Because of the shown efficiency and the innovative character of this process, many actions have been initiated in order to optimize it. The aim of this paper is to develop a three-dimensional coupled thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) model of FSW process for pure copper plates using the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) formulation given in the FE code ABAQUS V6.13. The CEL formulation is one of the few formulations that are capable of handling with such large deformations. The developed numerical model was validated by comparing its results related to the temperatures calculated in the process time with those measured in performed experiments using the same process parameters. This model was capable of simulating the FSW of copper plates and of anticipating the temperature distribution and burrs formation in the weld bead. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
