| Description | Journal: Materials Research Express Over the past few years, the influence of friction stir welding process variables in polymeric materials has been considerably studied whereas material parameters are encountering obstacles particularly in polymer-based nanocomposites. In this research, the newly fabricated two-phase composite of polyamide-6/nitrile butadiene rubber (PA6/NBR) reinforced with halloysite nanotubes (HNT) was welded by heat-assisted friction stir welding. Effect of tool rotational speed, tool traverse speed, and HNTs content as the three input parameters on mechanical properties has been investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Additionally, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to establish the significance of independent variables on welding overall quality characteristics. The results revealed that the rotational speed and HNTs content have the most significant effect. Optimal results have been validated through confirmation experiments. Finally, under the optimal conditions of 900 rev/min rotation rate, 14 mm/min of traverse speed and 6.72% HNTs content, the maximum values attained for mechanical properties. Furthermore, morphological and microstructural characterization of the fractured surface of samples was evaluated using scanning electron microscopes (SEM). |
