摘要
The friction stir welding process has been used to join 13 mm gauge 2024-T351 aluminium alloy plates together. A detailed microstructural study of the resulting weld was carried out using differential scanning calorimetry, hardness testing, scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to explain the hardness results at a number of regions across the weld in terms of co-cluster dissolution and reformation and S phase formation, coarsening and dissolution. The 'onion rings' structure found in the nugget weld was shown to be the result of a combination of the slight grain size variations and a change in nature and size of the particles present, i.e. intragranular v. intergranular. The variation in corrosion properties and hardness of the rings is discussed in terms of the local microstructure and quench sensitivities.
