Improvement of Weldment Properties by Hot Forming Quenching of Friction Stir Welded TWB Sheet
The purpose of this study is to improve the mechanical properties and formability of friction stir welded tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) of Al6061 alloy with a new forming method called hot forming quenching (HFQ) in which solid-solution heat-treated aluminum sheets are formed at elevated temperature.Forming and quenching during HFQ are simultaneously
