Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, aluminum alloy 2219 of two different heat treatment states were selected and welded using the friction stir welding process to evaluate the effect substrate on the joint properties. The microstructural observations have exhibited the difference in their characteristics between two heat treatment conditions of 2219-O and T6 conditions. The tensile strength of the AA2219-T6 joints much higher than the AA2219-O joints. Consequently, the microhardness distribution across the different zones varying with two different heat treated conditions. The failure locations and fracture surface features are revealed the significant differences among these two heat treated conditions with the change in their failure location and the fracture morphologies. The optimal welding conditions were analyzed to determine the high strength of the welds with excellent metallurgical properties of the welds.
