Description

A discussion is presented on the development of a FSW process for the welding of thin gauge aluminium alloy lap joints in the fuselage and wing sections of the Eclipse 500 twin-engine jet aircraft. The issues of pin tool geometry for use on lap joints, a corrosion protection system and distortion control methods are all addressed. Characterisation of the tensile and fatigue properties and crack growth behaviour of series 2000 and 7000 aluminium alloy FSW joints was carried out. Barrel testing to simulate the aircraft cabin was carried out to investigate fatigue and damage tolerance. Test results were compared with results for comparable riveted joints.
