High strength aluminium alloys generally present low weldability because of the poor solidification microstructure, porosity in the fusion zone and loss in mechanical properties when welded by fusion welding processes which otherwise can be welded successfully by comparatively newly developed process called friction stir welding (FSW). This paper presents the effect of post weld heat treatment (T 6 ) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 7039 aluminium alloy. It was observed that the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) showed coarser grains than that of nugget zone but lower than that of heat affected zone (HAZ). The decrease in yield strength of welds is more serious than decrease in ultimate tensile strength. As welded joint has highest joint efficiency (92.1%). Post weld heat treatment lowers yield strength, ultimate tensile strength but improves percentage elongation.

## Abstract Effects of Sn and Ca additions on microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the as‐cast Mg‐6Zn‐2Al‐based alloy were investigated by SEM, XRD, tensile tests, electrochemical measurements, etc. The higher the Sn content, the higher the yield strength of the Mg‐6Zn
