Abstract:

Aluminum 2xxx alloys have been one of the primary materials for the structural applications of aerospace and transportation industry because of their performance, manufacturing and reliable inspection techniques. Welding is very important in the manufacturing process of structural parts and is now known as the most vital process in the manufacturing route. A relatively new process of joining of materials is friction stir welding process, which was invented by The Welding Institute (TWI) in the UK in 1991. The friction stir welding is mainly employed in aerospace, marine and transportation fields that have high safety requirements. The failure by fatigue is the dominant failure mode for structural weld joints. Since fatigue failure of parts accounts for 50 to 90% of all failures, it is of great significance to understand the fatigue properties of friction stir welded joints. The aim of this overview is to summarize the current research on fatigue crack growth behavior of friction stir welded AA2xxx alloys and critical attention is payed to the damage tolerance performance of friction stir welded aluminum joints that can be affected by welding process parameters, residual stress, stress ratio, environment and post weld treatments.
