Abstract

Crack paths in friction stir welded SE(T) plates contain an offset hole were investigated. In order to study the effect of offset hole on crack trajectory, crack paths were studied and compared after the offset hole made on a range of samples with and without welds. Fatigue tests were performed with and without friction stir weld in a range of samples; crack paths and fatigue crack growth rates were compared. It is shown that crack grow rates are slower with weld than without weld. The position of hole has a big effect on crack path.
