摘要
The aim of this study is to determine the fracture toughness of friction stir-welded (FSW) lap joints of aluminum alloys. FSW lap joints of AA 2014 and AA 6063 aluminum alloy plates were performed on a conventional semiautomatic milling machine. FSW lap joints were produced on alloy plates. Fracture toughness of FSW lap joints were calculated from the results of tensile shearing tests. New empirical equations were developed for fracture toughness and energy release rate based on the relation between the hardness and fracture toughness values. Fracture toughness of FSW lap joints increases exponentially as the hardness reduces. The results of the experiments showed that the amount of Si content in Al alloys affects the fracture toughness of the FSW lap joints.
