    The optimization of welding parameters for friction stir spot welding of high density polyethylene sheets
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2011) KURTULMUŞ, MEMDUH; Bilici, Mustafa Kernal; Yukler, Ahmet Irfan; Kurtulmus, Memduh
    Friction stir spot welding parameters affect the weld strength of thermoplastics, such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets. The strength of a friction stir spot weld is usually determined by a lap-shear test. For maximizing the weld strength, the selection of welding parameters is very important. This paper presents an application of Taguchi method to friction stir spot welding strength of HOPE sheets. An orthogonal array, the signal to noise ratio (S/N), and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to /investigate friction stir welding parameter effects on the weld strength. From the ANOVA and the S/N ratio response graphs, the significant parameters and the optimal combination level of welding parameters were obtained. Experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of the method. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Investigation of Factors Affecting Friction Stir Welding of Polyethylene by ANOVA Analysis
    (KAUNAS UNIV TECH, 2021-08-23) BİLİCİ, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Bilici, Mustafa Kemal; Yukler, Ahmet Irfan; Kurtulmus, Memduh; Kartal, Ilyas
    The variables that are effective in joining high density polyethylene sheets by friction stir welding (FSW) have been investigated. In order to understand the effects of welding parameters, using Taguchi optimization, tool rotation speed, feed rate, shoulder diameter and pin diameter values were selected in a wide range. The results obtained with Taguchi optimization method were evaluated according to the highest / the best signal-noise ratio. Macro photographs taken crosssectional view taken the weld seam, SEM images and hardness measurements were used to evaluate. As a result of the evaluation, the accuracy of the optimization was found to be approximately 96 %. As a result, feed rate and shoulder diameter were determined as the most effective parameter affecting the welding quality and welding performance. These two parameters (shoulder diameter and feed rate) have found to effect of approximately 65 % on tensile strength, weld quality and hardness. Finally, it has obtained that the most effective welding parameter was the shoulder diameter with 40.81 %.
