Abstract
Fracture surface relief peculiarities of samples cut out from different segments of the HAZ of weldedjoints in high-strength aluminium alloy B96 were studied by fractography analysis method. General laws of crack initiation and propagation at eccentric tension were determined. The reasons for initiation of centers of crack concentration and microcrack formation on grain boundaries were established.
Keywords: fractographic analysis, high-strength aluminium alloy, thermophysical conditions of welding, failure mode, fracture relief, avalanche crack
