Residual Stress, Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Thick 6005A-T6 Aluminium Alloy Friction Stir Welds

Plates (37 mm thick) of 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy were butt joined by a single-sided and double-sided friction stir welding (FSW). The 3D residual stresses in the joints were determined using neutron diffraction. The microstructures were characterized by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and el...
