Precipitate and microstructure evolution in friction stir welding of 2195-T8 aluminum alloy was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The results show that precipitations in the base metal primarily consist of T-1 (Al2CuLi) platelets and small amounts of theta' (Al2Cu) and tau(2) (Al7Cu2Fe) phase. In the heat affected zone (HAZ), these precipitations dissolve during welding, allowing the re-precipitation of delta' (Al3Li) and beta' (Al3Zr) during cooling. delta' and beta' phase are the major strengthening phase in the weld nugget zone (WNZ), which results in the observed lower microhardness of the nugget region. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve is used to confirm and interpret the results provided by the microscopy. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
