摘要
Localized corrosion at the weld periphery of AZ31B friction stir spot welds has been associated with the formation of a galvanic cell between the stir zone material and the adjacent base metal. However, this explanation did not take into account the effects of residual stress and grain growth in material adjacent to the stir zone region. In this study, the influence of microstructural changes on the electrochemical characteristics of FSSW joints is investigated using a combination of microcapillary polarization, stress relief heat-treatment and micro-hardness testing. It is confirmed that residual stress has no significant effect on the corrosion resistance properties of completed joints. Also, based on a detailed examination of the electrochemical characteristics of materials in the stir zone, TMAZ and HAZ regions, grain growth had negligible influence on the corrosion resistance properties.
