Abstract

Before friction stir welded integral panels are used in main aircraft structure, the corrosion behavior of welded joint need to be studied in detail. 2024 T3 samples were designed and welded by friction stir welding; the microstructure crossing the weld zone was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the feature of different zones (base material, thermo-mechanical affected zone, nugget) was seen; the corrosion testing in NaCl smoking box was carried out, and microstructure was observed after corrosion, localized corrosion predominantly occurs in the thermo-mechanical affected zone.
