Effect of Pre-Strain Rolling on Annealing Behavior of Friction-Stir Welded AA6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the effect of pre-strain cold rolling on thermal stability of friction-stir welded AA6061-T6 alloy was studied. The pre-strain rolling was found to be very effective in suppression of abnormal grain growth during standard post-weld T6 heat treatment. It was also shown that the efficiency of this approach essentially depends on rolling path and the rolling along welding direction was the most effective rolling schedule.
