Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Thick Plate Friction Stir Welds for 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy

6082-T6 aluminum alloy plate with thickness of 42mm was butt welded by friction stir welding (FSW) from two sides. The microstructures of the joints exhibited different grain sizes because of unequal frictional heating and plastic flow during FSW process. The transition from the heat affected zone (...
