Abstract The paper presents results of research on the possibility of producing T-joints of aluminium alloys without defect by friction stir welding process. Friction stir welding process is applied in welding T-joints of aluminium alloys 5052-H32 and 5754-H111. These relatively new welding technologies produce high quality welded joints, where strength of the joint can reach the strength of the base material. Visual and macrostructural examination and microhardness measuring of the welded T-joints are processed. Keywords: friction stir welding (FSW), T-joints, defects, microhardness |
