Abstract: (5746 Views)
Novelty: Most of the open literature research has focused on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of AA2050 alloy. Also, a significant study discusses the corrosion behavior of AA2050 alloy based on immersion and electrochemical characteristics. The influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir processed AA2050 alloy is scarcely discussed in the open literature. The hot salt corrosion characteristics of friction stir processed AA2050 seldom exists in the available literature. This study concentrates on microhardness, tensile strength, and corrosion properties of friction stir processed AA2050. Also, the work focuses on the influence of artificial aging on the microhardness, and tensile strength of the friction stir processed AA2050.

Highlights
1. Friction stir processing of AA2050 (Al-Cu-Li) alloy refined grains and distribution of intermetallic phases
2. Heat treatment increased the ductility of friction stir processed AA2050 alloy
3. Hot salt corrosion test of friction stir processed AA2050 alloy indicated a less mass loss per unit area than the base material.
