%X stir zone of post weld heat treated joints presented equiaxed grains fully covered of very thin precipitates randomly distributed along the matrix. These precipitates are about 2–10 nm in diameter. The remaining regions are characterised by partial dissolution and precipitate coarsening during the FSW process.
