Investigating the multiscale effects of a novel post–weld composite processing treatment on minimizing weld softening in AA6061-T6 Al–alloy

The fusion welding of heat-treatable AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy results in significant joint softening which results in the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation (El) of the welded joint only reaching up to 60–70% and 40–50% of the base metal (BM), respectively. A post–weld composite processi...
