Abstract The microstructure of friction stir welded (FSW) joint of 7075 aluminum alloy were examined by using of optical microscope and transmission electron microscope. The corrosion behaviors of the joint were investigated by method of natural salt spray. The macroscopical and microscopical appearances of the weld seam were observed by using of scanning electron microscope after corrosion test. The results show that the size of the grain and the second phase particles in the weld zone has been obviously refined. The distribution of the second phase particles are not homogeneous on the weld seam surface. The resistance to corrosion of FSW seam is lower than that of base metal enveloped with pure aluminum layer. The corrosion styles during the initial stage are mainly local pitting and intergranular corrosion and develop to exfoliation corrosion after long time corrosion.
