Abstract
WE43 alloy belongs to a group of magnesium alloys with great potential for use in the automotive and aerospace industries. The industrial applicability of a material is determined, among other things, by its joinability. It was found that the treatment had a significant effect on the structure. The tensile strength of the FSW joints was at 75% of the base material’s strength. All joints cracked in the weld. Both the base material and the weld exhibited high corrosion resistance in an atmosphere simulating automobile engine exhaust gases. The tests demonstrated that FSW technology can be used for joining and repairing WE43 gravity castings used in the automotive industry.
