Improvement of Welding Repair Aluminium Alloy 6082T6 by MIG Welding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The repair welding of aluminium alloy 6082T6 with two fillers 4043 and 5356 were studied by using MIG welding process with pulse current at frequency 5 Hz. After that, macrostructure and microstructure were investigated and the density of porosity and testing of mechanical properties were determined. The results found that the density of new weld was less than repair weld. The results of mechanical tests showed that the new weld were better than the repair weld.
