Article Highlights The microstructure and morphology of WE43 magnesium alloy electron beam welded joints are analyzed. No defects such as oxidation and sag are found in magnesium alloy welds. The test result show, WE43 magnesium alloy electron beam welded joints possess high mechanical properties. By analyzing the tensile fracture morphology of welded joint, it is found that there are both ductile and brittle fracture.
