Orientation textures of crystallographic habit planes in the welded joint of an aluminium–lithium alloy prepared by Nd:YAG laser welding
Abstract
In the joint of a 5A90 aluminium–lithium alloy prepared by Nd:YAG laser welding, the crystallographic habit planes are preferentially textured at different locations, and such anisotropic distribution of habit planes suggests a potential perspective to understand the crystallographic orientation dependent performance of the welded joint structure.
