Abstract
Abstract This paper studied the microstructural and mechanical evolution of friction stir welded (FSW) 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the influence of notch locations on impact and fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior were evaluated. The results show that the grain size, hardness and impact absorbing energy of weld nugget zone (WNZ) was smaller than those of base material and heat affected zone. Longitudinal residual stresses dominated all the zones of the joint, FSW induced compressive stresses in WNZ. The particles in aluminum alloy matrix can impede the propagation of fatigue crack. The microstructural inhomogeneity and crack closure contribute to the fluctuation FCG rate.
