The microstructure, mechanical and nanomechanical properties of the joint were evaluated in as-welded and after post weld heat treatment (PWHT) using XRD, FESEM, EBSD, nanoindentation and tensile tests. The results show that PWHT led to microstructural recovery of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in addition to the appearance of β -phase (Al Mg ) at the grain boundaries of weld zone. The hardness (H ) in 3 2 nano all zones increased after PWHT while the elastic modulus (Enano) was improved from 69.93 GPa to 81 GPa in weld area. All results indicate that PWHT has created a homogenous microstructure in the weld zone
