Micro-Texture Analysis In Friction-Stir-Weld Of 6063 Aluminum

摘要

The major part of the weld center takes a typical shear texture component with two types of orientations. The orientation have a pair of common {111} and <110> parallel to the pin surface and the TD, respectively. The typical texture component is also observed near the weld center, although it rotates about the ND. The present study reveals that the plastic flow during the welding mainly arises from the shear stress along the rotating pin surface.
