The microstructure and microhardness of joint welds formed with linear friction welding (LFW) of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy was investigated. Welds of two samples of rectangular shape do not show any macroscopic defects and are characterized by high strength. The substantial transformation of the microstructure occurs in the weld. The lattice parameter decreases in the weld centre compared to the base material.
