摘要
In this study, the effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the mechanical properties of friction stir-welded 2024 aluminum alloys in the T4 temper state was investigated. Solution heat treatment and various ageing treatments were given to the welded joints. The PWHT procedures caused abnormal coarsening of the grains in the weld zone, which resulted in a drop in micro-hardness at the weld zone compared to the base material of the joints. T6 (190 degrees C - 10 h) ageing treatment after welding was found to be more beneficial than the other heat treatments in enhancing the mechanical properties of the 2024-T4 joints. However, the T6 (190 degrees C - 10 h) heat treatment led to significant ductility deterioration in the joint. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
