12Mg17 in the weld zone and fusion zone near AZ31B side. The other areas were mostly the mixed structure of α(Al) and Al2Mg3. The presence of intermetallic compounds leaded to the higher hardness of the weld compared to the base metal. The hardness fluctuated in value because of the different intermetallic compounds and their various contents. The tensile strength of 6061-T6/AZ31B dissimilar butt joints by laser welding was up to 34 MPa. It was found that the fracture always occurred in weld zone near AZ31B side, and the fracture mode was typical brittle fracture."/>
