مستخلص: This research compares auxiliary energy-assisted friction stir welding (FSW) techniques with conventional FSW when joining dissimilar materials. Specifically, it conducts numerical modeling and experimental validation for the effectiveness of plasma-assisted FSW and induction-assisted FSW for DH36 steel and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. Fully coupled 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, incorporating the multi-species transport method, were developed, where the species mass fractions of the workpieces are transported through diffusion, convection, and reaction sources for individual species. Based on the temperature validation, the dedicated heat flux based on the rectangular heat flux and Gaussian heat flux distribution were considered for induction coil and plasma arc heating on the DH36 steel side, respectively. The established conventional and auxiliary energy-assisted FSW models were validated against experimentally observed temperature fields and the joints' material features. Results indicate that the assistance of plasma and induction auxiliary energy sources increased the temperature field, strain rate, and flow velocity without forming stagnant zones on the steel side caused by reduced dynamic viscosity. In plasma arc-assisted FSW, the steel could not extrude effectively from the base steel sheet due to deficient heat and flow velocity input; therefore, defect-prone coarse steel fragments were blended with the Al matrix. In induction-assisted FSW, the uninterrupted steel layer was extruded from the steel side and placed on the Al side, which was caused by enhanced heat build-up and flow velocity. Moreover, induction-assisted FSW achieved symmetric material flow on both advancing and retreating sides, resulting in defect-free welds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
