초록

Initial oxide layer on the butt surface fragments during friction stir welding (FSW) and then often remains as a faint zigzag-line pattern on the cross section. When remnant of the oxide layer often adversely affects the mechanical properties in the weld, it is called as 'kissing-bond'. The present study systematically examines effect of oxide array on bend property in the root of friction stir (FS) welded Al alloy 1050 by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and then clarifies identity of the kissing-bond.
