To improve the weldability of 6061 aluminum alloy and improve the mechanical properties of welded joints, ultrasonic was introduced into the welding process. The microstructure changes of welded joints under different ultrasonic power were studied, and their effects on the mechanical properties of welded joints were analyzed. The grain size was calculated, and the distribution of precipitated phases was observed by the EBSD technique. The results show that the cavitation and acoustic flow produced by ultrasonic vibration can refine the microstructure of welded joint, reduce the grain size by nearly 50%. It promotes the transition of alloy elements to weld and eliminates the segregation of the strengthening phase to the grain boundary, thus improving the mechanical properties of the welded joint.
