| Sumario: | This paper proposes a finite element model implemented in ANSYS using Lagrangian formulation to assess heat generation and friction dynamics of a friction stir welding process on AA2024-T3 aluminum plates. For that aim, the model is enriched by estimating a temperature-dependent friction coefficient using theoretical relationships, and by considering a temperaturedependent multilinear isotropic hardening equation as a plasticity model representing the material. Both quantitative determinations are confirmed through experimental data collected on the real material. Finally, the contact conditions are modeled using the modified Coulomb criterion. The results of the model are in agreement with actual results observed on experimental applications. The study proves that the rotational speed of the tool is the most determinant factor in the results. As it rises, the friction-generated heat flow is higher. This study shows that the compressive stress-strain data in strain rate of 10s-1 is a good approximation of the plasticity behavior of aluminum alloy during the friction stir welding. |
