Investigation of the Microstructure of Joints of Aluminum Alloys Produced by Friction Stir Welding

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Special features of the microstructure of joints of aluminum–magnesium and aluminum–copper alloys produced by friction stir welding are analyzed. It is demonstrated that a layered structure with ultradisperse grains is produced by friction stir welding at the center of the weld joint. An analogy is drawn between the microstructures of joints produced by friction stir welding and surface layer produced by sliding friction.
