Abstract:Precipitation hardening aluminium alloy sheets AA2017-T4 are welded by FSW on a conventional FSW tool. A macrograph of the cross section of the butt-welded joint shows the classical zones for such welding, namely the nugget zone, the thermo-mechanically affected zone and the heat affected zone. Scanning Electron Microscopy displays a grain refining and a re-formation of the precipitates in the nugget zone. Micro-hardness measurements on the cross-section perpendicular to the welding direction give the standard… Show more
