Abstract
ABSTRACT A friction-stir welded Al–Cu–Li alloy plate with desirable mechanical performance has been obtained using specific parameters. The microstructures of the nugget zone were systematically characterised and nano-sized phases, including , and were found in its matrix. These phases enhance the strength of the joint to a level comparable with the base metal. The results provide the means of obtaining a reliable and low-cost friction-stir weld (FSW) joint for T3-tempered Al–Cu–Li alloy plates without any post-welding heat treatments. This study shows that, by using appropriate parameters of FSW, the microstructures and mechanical precipitates of the nugget zone can be controlled to enhance the weld quality.
期刊介绍:
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine, which was first published in 1798. Its Editors consider for publication short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasizing experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret behaviour on a microscopic, atomic or electronic scale, are particularly appropriate.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
