Comportamiento frente a la corrosión de uniones soldadas por fricción agitación de AA7075-T651: Evaluación galvánica

ABSTRACT Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a novel solid-phase welding process, which has proved to have a great potential for the realization of welded joints in materials with poor weldability such as heat-treatable aluminum alloys. The aerospace industry has incorporated this process for the manufacture of structural elements, using known high strength alloys such as AA7075 or AA2024. During FSW, different areas are formed due to the thermomechanical cycle applied, which have been named: the stirred zone (WN), the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and the heat affected zone (HAZ). Each ...
