Crack initiation and propagation paths in small diameter FSW 6082-T6 aluminium tubes under fatigue loading

Crack initiation and propagation paths in small diameter FSW 6082-T6 aluminium tubes under fatigue loading

Show other versions (1)

This paper reports results of fatigue tests of friction stir welded (FSW) aluminium tubes. Relatively small 38 mm diameter tubes were used and hence an automated FSW process using a retracting tool was designed for this project, as the wall thickness of the aluminium tube was similar to the diamete...
