Local fatigue crack propagation behavior of a two-pass friction stir welded aluminum alloy

Fatigue behavior of a two-pass, double-sided, friction stir welded joint was studied to get a basic understanding on the local fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behaviors of the different zones within the weld. The fatigue crack propagation tests were carried out on center notched specimens with initi...
