Friction stir welding (FSW) can be used to weld 7xxx series wrought aluminium alloys. As these materials are age-hardenable, their properties can change with time. This work used the neutron diffraction technique to measure the residual stresses around a FSW in a 7xxx alloy and to determine how thes
