摘要

Friction stir welding (FSW) was conducted on 4 mm-thick rolled 5083 aluminum alloy, and the superplastic behavior and deformation mechanisms of the weld nugget zone (WNZ) were investigated under various temperatures and strain rates. Microstructural analysis showed a highly refined equiaxed grain structure in the WNZ with an average grain size of 3.75 μm. High-temperature tensile tests revealed a maximum post-fracture elongation of ~ 404% in this region under conditions of 450 °C and a strain rate of 1 × 10− 3 s− 1. The remarkable elongation is mainly attributed to the refined equiaxed grains and the pronounced prevalence of high-angle grain boundaries (accounting for 86.4%) within the WNZ. Grain boundary slip (GBS) is identified as the dominant mechanism governing the superplastic deformation in the WNZ of the 5083aluminum alloy FSW joint.
