Abstract
The corrosion behaviour of the nugget of a Friction Stir Welding joint employing a 2050 Al–Cu–Li alloy was investigated. The results showed that the nugget was susceptible to both intergranular and intragranular corrosion. Such corrosion behaviour was related to microstructural heterogeneities observed on a microscopic scale. Furthermore, heterogeneities in the corrosion behaviour of the nugget observed on a macroscopic scale were evidenced by a different corrosion behaviour from the top to the bottom of the nugget and by a localisation of the corrosion damage related to the ‘‘Onion ring structure’’. Critical microstructural parameters were identified to explain the results.
