Integrated durability behaviour of friction stir welded AA2060 Al–Li joints: wear, corrosion, and UVaFSW benchmarking
AA2060 aluminium–lithium alloys are attractive for aerospace structures because of their high specific strength and damage tolerance; however, their friction stir welded (FSW) joints may experience mechanical loading, sliding wear, and corrosive exposure during service. Previous studies have largely examined these...
