Abstract

Abstract The effects of post-weld heat treatment at a solution temperature of 540 °C for 5 hrs 30 mins followed by ageing at 190 °C for 6 hrs on microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded dissimilar aluminium alloys A319 and AA6063 have been examined. Post-weld ageing results in improved mechanical properties. The effect of ageing on the morphology of the second phase particles of silicon, copper and iron in the stir zone has been studied. The hardness of the stir zone for both as-welded and post-weld ageing was found to be lower than that of AA6063 but higher than A319 base metal. Microstructural studies reveal that the A319 dominates the stir zone.
