RESUMO
ABSTRACT Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state process that has reach a strong technological impact in welding of aluminum alloys. Among its advantages, it may include the ability of joining materials that are difficult to weld by fusion. In welding of heat treatable aluminum alloys, some degradation in metallurgical properties is observed, so welds show lower strength than base metal. Welding parameters define the mechanical properties of the welded joints. Small Punch Tests (SPT) allow the analysis of local properties in weld zones because small specimens are required. In this paper, two batches of samples were prepared with different welding parameters and local mechanical properties were studied by SPT tests. An AA6061-T6 sheet with thickness 3 mm was selected as base metal. Thermal cycle, axial load and another welding parameters were fully recorded. From samples taken from welded coupons, weldments were characterized mechanically and metallurgically by conventional tests for comparison with SPT results. SPT is a valuable tool to estimate local mechanical properties in FSW welds.
