AFM Characterization of Stir-Induced Micro-Flow Features within the AA6082-T6 BFSW Welds

Bobbin Friction Stir Welding (BFSW) is a thermomechanical process containing severe plastic deformation by mechanical stirring and Dynamic Recrystallization (DRX) during recooling. Here we report the three-dimensional characteristics of the micro-flow patterns within the aluminium weld structure. Th...
