Effect of edge preparation on hardness and corrosion behaviour of AA6061-T651 friction stir welds

Novelty: In this study, friction stir welding of AA6061-T651 plates with square wave edge configuration on base material plates, as opposed to typical plain edges, can greatly improve the joint’s hardness and pitting corrosion behaviour. This makes edge preparation before welding a promising method...
