A study of mechanical properties and microstructure in friction stir welded thin sheet aluminium alloys
Abstract
Friction stir welding of very thin aluminium sheets represents a potential goal for aircraft and automotive industries due to the advantages of using this new technological process. In the present work, the microstructural evolution and mechanical behaviour of 6082T6-2024T3 thin friction stir welded joints were investigated. Uniaxial tensile testing at room temperature, 170°, 200° and 230°C were performed in order to determine the extent to …
