Description

Microstructural evolution in friction stir welded commercially pure aluminium 1100-O plate was investigated. Plate of thickness 6.35 mm (0.25 in) was welded using rotational speeds of 700 and 1200 rpm, and welding speeds of 180 and 580 mm/min. The microstructure of sectioned samples was studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of textural heterogeneities on the joint properties are discussed.
