Microstructural Modelling for Friction Stir Welding of High Strength Aluminum Alloys

Abstract:

Friction stir welding is conceptually simple but metallurgically highly complex due to thecombination of severe deformation and high temperature. This is particularly true in the case ofprecipitation strengthened alloys, such as high strength aerospace aluminium alloys, where theheat and deformation of FSW lead to profound changes in both grain structure and precipitatedistribution that ultimately determine weld performance.
