Certain Weldability Problems of 6082-T6 Aluminium Alloy and the Mechanical Properties of the Welded Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

The usage of modern high strength aluminium alloys are getting more remarkable in several industry sectors mostly the fabrication of light weight structures, such as vehicles, railway transport systems, aerostructures and building constructions. The weldability problems of these alloys are more complex than the steels with similar strength. Therefore weldability problems must be analyzed very accurately, by the help of the modern physical simulation. By knowing the difficulties of the weldability of high strength aluminium alloys the proper parameters of the welding technology can be defined. This article represents the investigation of a certain weldability problem of 6082T6 aluminium alloy with the aim of physical simulation and welding experiments with gas metal arc welding and pulsed current technology.
