Mechanical behaviour of similar and dissimilar AA5182-H111 and AA6016-T4 thin friction stir welds

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThe tensile behaviour of similar and dissimilar friction stir welds in 1 mm thick sheets of two aluminium alloys (AA5182-H111 and AA6016-T4) is analysed in this paper. The heterogeneity in properties across the welds was studied by performing microhardness tests and microstructural analysis. The tensile tests were performed in samples extracted longitudinal and transverse to the weld direction. It was found that the tensile behaviour of the welds depends mainly on the grain size in the TMAZ, for… Show more

“…The hardness of the base material (BM) is found to be uniform along and across the weld direction. The hardness profile across the weld direction indicates a sudden increase from the base metal hardness to thermo mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) 14,15 , varies constantly in the advancing side of the weld and a steep drop in hardness is observed in the weld nugget zone and a similar drop in retreating side of the weldment.…”

“…This is beneficial in terms of prevention of defects in stir zone, as confirmed by Kim et al (2006), but detrimental in terms of microstructure. Indeed, an increase in the heat generated causes the grain growth and reduces the hardness and mechanical strength in the stir zone, as showed Leitão et al (2009). For this reason, the tool geometry and process parameters must be selected carefully in order to refine the structure and increases mechanical properties in the stir zone.…”
