Abstract

Highlights: [•] The study sheds new light on the natural aging of AA7136 friction stir welds. [•] Natural aging notably influences the mechanical properties of friction stir welds. [•] The hardness profile can be correlated to the temperature distribution model. [•] The GP(I) zones formation is responsible for the increased mechanical properties. [•] Natural aging cannot be neglected in practical applications of the FSW process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
