A thermal model of friction stir welding was developed that utilizes a new slip factor based on the energy per unit length of weld. The slip factor is derived from an empirical, linear relationship observed between the ratio of the maximum welding temperature to the solidus temperature and the welding energy. The thermal model successfully predicts the maximum welding temperatures over a wide range of energy levels, but under predicts the temperature for low energy levels for which heat from plastic deformation dominates. The thermal model supports the concept that the relationship between the temperature ratio and energy level is characteristic to aluminum alloys that share similar thermal emissivities. The thermal model can be used to generate characteristic temperature curves from which the maximum welding temperature in an alloy may be estimated if the thermal emissivity, welding parameters and tool geometry are known.
