Effect of Shortened Post Weld Heat Treatment on the Laser Welded AA7075 Alloy

Abstract: The present study provides an overview of previous studies on the welding of the AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy, followed by an investigation of the influence of short-time solution annealing on the mechanical properties of the weld. Conventional laser welding of Al-Zn-alloys leads to a low weld strength, which makes a post weld heat treatment (PWHT) favorable. The PWHT includes solution annealing, quenching and subsequent aging. For solution annealing, different holding times and cooling rates are investigated in t… Show more

“…FSW joints of precipitation-hardened alloys tend to fail in this zone, which is characterized by low participation of the strengthening phase and coarse grains [4]. In conventional welded joints, the possible solution of this problem is post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) allowing for reprecipitation of the strengthening phases [5]. When it comes to the PWHT of FSW joints there are some problems e.g.…”
