PENGARUH VARIASI TEMPERATUR DAN KECEPATAN PENGELASAN TERHADAP HASIL FRICTION STIR WELDING (FSW) PADA PIPA HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE)
Welding is a process of joining materials using heat energy. Welding techniques
are increasingly developing along with developments in the types and
applications of these materials. Friction stir welding is a type of welding
discovered by Wayne Thomas at The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991. Friction stir
welding is a welding method whose heat source comes from the friction that
occurs between the workpiece and the rotating tool. The working principle of
friction stir welding is to utilize friction from a rotating tool with a stationary
workpiece so that it can melt the workpiece. The main process parameters of FSW
are tool rotation speed, welding speed, tool inclination angle, and tool infeed
depth. This research aims to determine the tensile strength with variations in
temperature and welding speed on HDPE pipes using the friction stir welding
(FSW) method. The welding process uses temperature variations of 100°C, 120°C
and 140°C with welding speeds of 5 mm/minute, 7 mm/minute and 9 mm/minute.
The test carried out in this research was the ASTM D638 type III standard tensile
test. The results of this research show that the best welding surface results with a
temperature of 140ºC and a welding speed of 5 mm/minute and the highest tensile
strength produces an average value of 18.723 MPa while the lowest tensile
strength shows an average value of 5.12 MPa.
