Weldability of industrial alloy 1580 sheets by friction stir welding is studied. Specimens investigated are from 1580 grade aluminum alloy cards 210 × 300 mm in size and 4.5 mm thick in an annealed condition, prepared by cold rolling under Russian metallurgical enterprise industrial conditions. In this work tasks of testing welded specimen mechanical properties by static tensile tests, studying welded seam structure and assessing the of the welded seam quality by X-ray analysis, and conducting static bending tests are resolved. It is shown that use of friction stir welding for joining sheets of alloy 1580 makes it possible to obtain a high quality weld, characterized by the absence of defects confirmed by X-ray studies. In this case the welded seam strength coefficient is 0.97, and workpieces welded by this method have high static bending test indices.
