Solution heat treatment and various ageing treatments were given to the welded joints. The PWHT procedures caused abnormal coarsening of the grains in the weld zone, which resulted in a drop in micro-hardness at the weld zone compared to the base material of the joints. T6 (190 degrees C - 10 h) ageing treatment after welding was found to be more beneficial than the other heat treatments in enhancing the mechanical properties of the 2024-T4 joints. However, the T6 (190 degrees C - 10 h) heat treatment led to significant ductility deterioration in the joint.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHeat treatmentsWeldingMechanicalAbnormal grain-growthAluminum-alloy jointsTensile propertiesFracture-behaviorMicrostructureMaterials scienceFrictionHeat treatmentMechanical propertiesWelded steel structuresWelds2024 aluminum alloyAgeing treatmentsBase materialC.
