Abstract
In this study, the refill friction stir processing (RFSP) method was utilised to repair a exit-hole defect located at the end of the friction stir welding (FSW) joints in 7475 aluminium alloy plate. The morphology, macroscopic defects, and mechanical properties of the repaired joints were investigated. The results demonstrate that the exit-hole was successfully refilled after RFSP. Material flow caused the refill voids, annular grooves, and un-stirred material defects. The maximum strength reached 415 Mpa, equal to 105% of the base defect-free weld. The mechanical properties of repaired joint were largely influenced by the stir zone (SZ) boundary and un-stirred material defects.
期刊介绍:
Science and Technology of Welding and Joining is an international peer-reviewed journal covering both the basic science and applied technology of welding and joining.
Its comprehensive scope encompasses all welding and joining techniques (brazing, soldering, mechanical joining, etc.) and aspects such as characterisation of heat sources, mathematical modelling of transport phenomena, weld pool solidification, phase transformations in weldments, microstructure-property relationships, welding processes, weld sensing, control and automation, neural network applications, and joining of advanced materials, including plastics and composites.
