    Investigation of friction stir spot welding of high density polyethylene and polypropylene sheets
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021) BİLİCİ, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Bilici, Mustafa Kemal
    In this study, two different polymer materials were used. In the joints made with friction stir spot welding, firstly (PP/PP and HDPE/HDPE) and then different materials (PP/HDPE, HDPE/PP) joining processes were carried. The influence of the tool rotational speed and the stirring time on joint formation and weld strength were determined. The temperature of the liquid welding materials varies according to the materials to be combined. High weld strengths were obtained at the friction stir spot welding of similar plastic sheets. The highest weld strengths were obtained in PP-PP welds. Low weld strengths were obtained at the friction stir spot welding of dissimilar plastic sheets because of immiscible and incompatible blends formed during the welding operation. The lowest weld strengths were obtained in PP-HDPE welds. The chemical composition and the phase morphology of the blends, the mechanical scission occurrence and the welding residual stresses determine the strength of the welds.

    Effect of tool geometry on friction stir spot welding of polypropylene sheets
    (BUDAPEST UNIV TECHNOL & ECON, 2012) BİLİCİ, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Bilici, M. K.
    The effects of tool geometry and properties on friction stir spot welding properties of polypropylene sheets were studied. Four different tool pin geometries, with varying pin angles, pin lengths, shoulder diameters and shoulder angles were used for friction stir spot welding. All the welding operations were done at the room temperature. Lap-shear tensile tests were carried out to find the weld static strength. Weld cross section appearance observations were also done. From the experiments the effect of tool geometry on friction stir spot weld formation and weld strength were determined. The optimum tool geometry for 4 mm thick polypropylene sheets were determined. The tapered cylindrical pin gave the biggest and the straight cylindrical pin gave the lowest lap-shear fracture load.

    Effect of welding parameters on mechanical properties and microstructure of friction stir welded brass joints
    (EDP SCIENCES S A, 2019) BİLİCİ, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Gecmen, Inan; Catalgol, Zarif; Bilici, Mustafa Kemal
    Friction stir welding is a method developed for the welding of high-alloy aluminum materials which are difficult to combine with conventional welding methods. Friction stir welding of MS 63 (brass) plates used different tools (tapered cylindrical, tapered threaded cylindrical), tool rotational speeds (1040, 1500, 2080 rpm) and traverse speeds (30,45,75,113 mm.min(-1)). Tensile, bending, radiography and microstructure tests were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of brass plates joined by friction stir welding technique. Microstructure characterization studies were based on optical microscope and SEM analysis techniques. In addition, after joining operations, radiographs were taken to see the internal structure failure. Brass sheets were successfully joined to the forehead in the macrostructure study. In the evaluation of the microstructure, it was determined that there were four regions of base metal, thermomechanically affected zone (TMEB), heat-affected zone (HAZ) and stir zone. In both welding tools, the weld strength increased with increasing tool rotation speed. The particles in the stir zone are reduced by increasing of the tool rotation speed. Given the strength and % elongation values, the highest weld strength was achieved with tapered pin tool with a tool rotation speed of 1040 rpm and a tool feed speed of 113 min(-1).
