Microstructural and failure mechanism of laser welded 2A97 Al–Li alloys via synchrotron 3D tomography

Good quality 1.2-mm-thick 2A97 Al–Li alloy butt joints were achieved by the fiber laser welding with the filler ER5356. Thorough investigations were then performed on the microstructure, porosity size and location, softening behavior, tensile strength and fatigue limit, together with failure mechani...
