Abstract
T-shaped joints of high-strength aluminum alloy welded by friction stir welding (FSW) are expected to replace the traditional riveting structures. However, the popularization of FSW in aerospace industry is still hindered the corrosion of T-joint. Herein, T-joints of 2A12 and 2A97 aluminum alloys are prepared and studied via structural characterization and corrosion tests. The microstructures and constituents of different micro zones in T-joints before and after corrosion tests are characterized and analyzed particularly. The internal relationship between different micro zones in T-joints and their corrosion behaviors are clarified, which provides theoretical basis for improving welding process and surface protection after welding.
