Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) was developed, it is successfully commercialized in the field of transportation vehicles. In this study, we analyzed the defects of A2024-T4 alloy using non-destructive test of radiograph, ultrasonic, electrical conductivity and destructive test of microstructure observation, tensile strength. As the results of experiment, mapping of defects was obtained. Fine defects which were not detected in radiograph test were detected in ultrasonic test, and it enabled efficient detection of defects by difference of sound pressure and color. The values of electrical conductivity was decreased as amount of defects was increasing. Joint efficient of defect-free weldment that found by non-destructive and destructive test was 91%. Therefore it was considered that non-destructive test of friction stir welded A2024-T4 Alloy was an efficient method.
