Tensile shear properties were evaluated in terms of peak load and failure energy. Results showed that welds subjected to high heat input in situ PWHT via double-pulse RSW process exhibit higher peak load and failure energy compared with conventional single-pulse weld. The improvement in mechanical performance is attributed to increased weld nugget size and the transition of failure mode from interfacial fracture mode to pullout fracture mode. Moreover, it was also found that increasing the tensile shear test velocity from 1.6 � 10�4 ms�1 (quasi-static) to 8.3 � 10�3 ms�1 for low-dynamic increased the peak load and failure energy of the weld. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature. date: 2021 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85105409669&doi=10.1007%2fs00170-021-07134-y&partnerID=40&md5=1e4d6835d1162744c7181d237084b1fd id_number: 10.1007/s00170-021-07134-y full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology volume: 114 number: 11-12 pagerange: 3739-3750 refereed: TRUE issn: 02683768 citation: Soomro, I.A. and Pedapati, S.R. and Awang, M.
