X-ray Image Characteristics of 2219 Aluminum Alloy Friction Stir Welding Seams and Their Causes
In this paper, 6 mm-thick 2219 aluminium alloy were welded by friction stir welding. The results of both the X ray image and the metallographic structure observed at transverse and longitudinal direction were compared and analyzed. A obvious bright line could be observed at the advanced side in the joint and crescent shaped white inclusions could be observed along the weld longitudinal direction with periodic intermittent distribution. It was the combined influence of both thermal mechanical effect and plastic material flow during FSW that cause the abnormal aggregation and growth of strengthening phase at the advanced side in the joint. Under the influence of the size and the distribution characteristics of the strengthening phase of the material, it formed an uneven crescent-shaped inclusion.But the inclusion thickness is thin and formed a metallurgical bond with the matrix. The aggregated phase has no significant effect on the joint mechanical properties.
