Abstract

3 mm thick 7050-T7451aluminum alloy joint was obtained by friction stir welding, and the two-stage aging treatment was performed at 121 ℃×5 h + 163 ℃×27 h after welding. Microstructure, hardness profiles and stress corrosion sensitivity of the joint were measured and studied. The results indicate that through the two-step aging, the grain size is coarsened, the age-hardening precipitates and PFZ become wider at the same time, which results in the discontinuous grain boundary; the microhardness of the FSW joints decreased, but the heat-affected zone significantly narrowed, which increased the uniformity of the microhardness of the FSW joints; and the two-stage aging effectively reduced the stress corrosion sensitivity of the FSW joints. The joints with aging treatment were not broken after 60 days, however all the joints without aging treatment were broken within 1 day.
