... mechanism to butt weld the two blanks of aluminum alloy AA5083 and AA6082 both in the annealed state. To study the effect of welded region on formability, experiments are performed on tailor-welded blanks with and without the annealing operation. The tensile properties of the parent sheets, welded blanks...

... for AFSD AA6061. The majority of AM is currently facilitated using fusion-based techniques, such as selective laser melting or laser-engineered net shaping. However, fusion-based techniques have been documented to have difficulty manufacturing aluminum components [ 2 – 4 ]. Aluminum alloys experience...

... was to obtain the effects of heat treatment and welding on SCC behavior of the age-hardenable aluminum alloy. The authors conclude that a deep insight into the SCC resistance of AA6061 alloy indicates the precipitate particle distributions and they are the key point for AA6061 alloy joints in chloride solution...

... deformation-induced surface roughness aluminum alloys bending scanning laser confocal microscopy strain localization Closure panels (e.g., hoods, deck lids, lift gates, side doors, and roof panels) are good examples of where the difference in mechanical performance between traditional steel...

...Livan Fratini; Gianluca Buffa In this paper, the metallurgical phenomena occurring in friction stir welding processes of AA6082-T6 and AA7075-T6 aluminum alloys are investigated. In particular, to predict the local values of the average grain size, either a simple analytical expression depending...
