Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the fatigue resistance of friction stir welded (FSWed) AZ31B-H24 Mg alloy butt joints with emphasis on the effect of pin tool thread orientation (right-hand thread (RHT) and left-hand thread (LHT)) in the clockwise rotation. The friction stir welding resulted in recrystallized grains in the stir zone (SZ) and thermomechanicallyaffected zone (TMAZ), and partially recrystallized grains in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), with the lowest hardness appeared in the SZ. The fatigue life after friction stir welding was observed to be lower at high stress amplitudes, but remained nearly the same at low stress amplitudes. Fatigue strength was higher in the FSWed joints made with the LHT pin tool than with the RHT pin tool due to the elimination of the welding defects near the bottom surface via a downward material flow. Fatigue fracture basically occurred at or near the boundary between TMAZ and SZ. Fatigue crack initiated from the specimen surface or near surface defects in the case of LHT pin tool, and from the welding defects near the bottom surface in the case of RHT pin tool. Crack propagation was characterized by the formation of fatigue striations.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
