Comparative study on fatigue properties between AA2024-T4 friction stir welds and base materials

Numerical Study of the Mechanical Behavior and Fatigue in a Weld Bead by Friction Stir for a 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy

“…Fatigue results obtained in this work are close with data obtained by other authors [23] for this welding process FSW. The second objective is not to simulate the crack propagation test for strong ΔK, but to digitally generate the da / dN curve according to ΔK.…”

“…13), several outcomes can be identified. Studies report that the introduction of a plastic strain of 2% parallel to the joint makes the propagation speed of the same level as that of the base metal [23]. The resulting residual stresses than 2% plastic deformation did not affect hardness.…”

A Simple Approach to the Study of the Ageing Behaviour of Laser Beam and Friction Stir Welds between Similar and Dissimilar Alloys

“…Regarding fatigue resistance, FSW brings to a reduction of the fatigue strength at 10 7 cycles (Di et al, 2006;Jata et al, 2000, Uematsu, 2009, but this behaviour is believed to be strongly correlated with the bad surface finishing of FSW welds. A surface treatment with removal of a portion of the surface improves the fatigue properties close to those of the base metal.…”

Fatigue properties of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy butt joints processed by vacuum brazing and tungsten inert gas welding

“…[7][8][9][10] With respect to the studies on the fatigue in aluminum alloy weldments, most literature discussed the fatigue behaviors of weldments prepared by the molten welding methods, such as inert-gas metal-arc welding, 11 TIG welding, [12][13][14] and friction stir welding. [15][16][17][18][19] Few studies investigated the diffusion-bonding weldments.…”
