The7A05 aluminum alloy of the 10mm thickness was welded by the friction stir welding. The microstructure and mechanical Properties of the welded joint was researched by the optical microscope, etc. The results showed: the microstructure of the weld nugget zone and the thermal mechanically affected zone were refined as the welding speed increasing when the rotate speed is constant. As the welding speed increasing the strength of extension of the welded joint is increasing at first and then stable basically. but the yield strength had no obvious change.

Friction Stir Welding, abbreviated FSW is an innovative joining process. The FSW is a solid-state welding process with a lot of advantages comparing to the traditional arc welding, such as the following: it uses a non-consumable tool, it results of good mechanical properties, it can use dissimilar materials and it have a low environmental impact. First of all, the FSW process was developed to join similar aluminum plates, and now, the technology was developed and the FSW process is used to weld large types of materials, similar or dissimilar. In this paper it is presented an experimental study and the results of it, which includes the welding of three dissimilar aluminum alloy, with different chemical and mechanical properties. This three materials are: AA2024, AA6061 and AA7075. The welding joints and the welding process were analyzed considering: process temperature, micro-hardness, macrostructure and microstructure.

To establish the efficacy of creep age forming of the integrally friction stir welded panels, feasibility experiments were first conducted on friction stir welded rib-web panels of 2A12 aluminum alloys by using a designed air-loading age forming setup, and then related forming characteristics were investigated by using a mechanical-loading setup on the samples with and without friction stir welding joints. Results show that good age-formability can be observed from friction stir welded rib-web parts after creep age forming. The surface springback of the integral parts decreases with increasing the aging time and temperature. For 2A12 aluminum alloy, under an aging temperature of 190°C, a relatively better forming effect and strength can be reached at an aging time of about 8h. Compared with the non-welded structures, the introduction of friction stir welding will inhibit forming rate and will shorten the time of creep age forming.

Bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW) is a variant of the conventional friction stir welding (CFSW); it can weld the upper and lower surface of the work-piece in the same pass. This technique involves the bonding of materials without melting. In this work, the influence of tool design on the mechanical properties of welding joints of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with 6.25 mm thickness produced by FSW bobbin tools was investigated and the best bobbin tool design was determined. Five different probe shapes (threaded straight cylindrical, straight cylindrical with 3 flat surfaces, straight cylindrical with 4 flat surfaces, threaded straight cylindrical with 3 flat surface and threaded straight cylindrical with 4 flat surfaces) with various dimensions of the tool (shoulders and pin) were used to create the welding joints. The direction of the welding process was perpendicular to the rolling direction for aluminum plates. Tensile and bending tests were performed to select the right design of the bobbin tools, which gave superior mechanical properties of the welded zone.  The tool of straight cylindrical with four flats, 8 mm probe and 24 mm shoulders diameter gave better tensile strength (193 MPa), elongation (6.1%), bending force (5.7 KN), and welding efficiency (65.4%) according to tensile strength.
