In this study, microstructure and mechanical properties for the friction stir welded 2519Al-T87 alloy of the thickness of 38.8mm were studied using DSC, OM, SEM and micro hardness tester. DSC analysis show that GP Zone, ${\theta}'$ and $\theta$ phases in upper part and ${\theta}'$ and $\theta$ phase in lower part of the FSW zone. Recrystallized large grains are observed in HAZ, and elongated small and large grain in the TMAZ. In SZ, very small grains forms by high plastic deformation and heat from friction by tool and specimen.

On the basis of successful experiences and data from author's past experimental results of friction stir welding on thin aluminum plates, thick aluminum plate of high strength 2000 series has been carried out in this study. For various combination of rotating speed, welding speed and tool (RIWRC38-C) shape, the butt welded specimens has been prepared to check the metallurgical characteristics, hardness distributions and defects. From the results, feasible welding conditions have been obtained as 450 rpm rotating speed and 5 mm/min welding speed. Using these optimum welding parameters, 38.1mm-thickness A2519-T87 plates have been FSWelded in single pass. A good weld surface appearance and defects free weld zone has been observed in X-ray inspection. Softened region has been generated by dissolution of precipitates and coarsened microstructure in the stir zone after FSWeld.
