Development of Metallographic Etchants for the Microstructure Evolution of A6082-T6 BFSW Welds
BACKGROUND—The solid-phase joining of A6082-T6 plates by bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW) is problematic. Better methods are needed to evaluate the microstructural evolution of the weld. However, conventional Al reagents (e.g., Keller’s and Kroll’s) do not elucidate the microstructure satisfactor...
