abstract = {The asymmetric material flow, severe plastic deformation and thermal cycle imposed on the base material during friction stir welding (FSW) result in unique microstructural development, which causes a gradient in local mechanical properties in the weld region. Micro-tensile and indentation testing were applied to determine the local mechanical properties in a friction stir welded joint. The local stress–strain curves exhibited a drastic change at the advancing side (AS) due to a steep gradient of mechanical properties. Finite Element Model (FEM) predictions of the tensile performance of the welded joints, based on the local mechanical properties measured by micro-tensile testing, were in very good agreement with the macro-tensile test data.},
