Aluminum alloy 5083 H116 has an exceptional performance in extreme environments, moderately high strength, outstanding corrosion resistance in salt water and high impact strength at cryogenic temperature. In the present study, Aluminum alloy AA 5083 H116 plates were joined by tungsten inert gas (TIG) process by single and double sided welding. Welding current used was 53 A and 80 A with the addition of purging gas during welding process. The effects on micro structure and mechanical properties like surface hardness and tensile strength of the welded region were studied. The results have shown that optimum current out of the two weld current used is 53 A. Better microstructures, tensile and hardness were found in the welded joint for the weld current 53 A where the tensile obtained in the softened zone was approximately 87% than that of the base metal (BM). With increasing of TIG current, the width of PMZ increased. In addition, the doubled sided welding sequence also produced broader PMZ area.

Welding dissimilar materials has been widely applied in industries. Some of them are considered this as a strategy to develop their future technology products. Aluminum alloy and stainless steel have differences in physical, thermal, mechanical and metallurgic properties. However, selecting a suitable welding process and welding rods can solve this problem. This research aimed to investigate the T-joint welding between A6061 aluminum alloy and SUS304 stainless steel using new welding rods, Aluma-Steel by the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process. The mechanical properties, the characteristics of microstructure, and component analysis of the welds have been investigated by the mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). As a result, the fracture occurred at the adjacent area between welding seam and A6061 alloys plate. The thermal cracking appeared at central welding-seam along the base metals if high welding current. A large amount of copper elements found in the welds due to using the new welding rod, Aluma-Steel rod.

5083 Aluminum Alloy

Automatic gas tungsten arc welding experiments of 5083 aluminum alloy were completed, to analyze the weld microstructure and mechanical properties. The influences of welding current, travel speed, frequency, and arc length on weld forming and mechanical properties were studied. When the welding current was 160 A, the travel speed was 380 mm/min, the frequency was 100 Hz, the arc length was 4 mm, and the maximum tensile strength of the welded joint was 296.9 MPa, which was 86.8% of the base metal’s tensile strength. The fracture elongation was 7.8%. No porosity was formed in the weld, but there were poor fusion problems. ER5356 welding wire can improve the problem of poor weld fusion and accommodate Mg element vaporization losses. When the wire feeding speed was 1200 mm/min, the tensile strength of the welded joint can be improved to 315.2 MPa, which was 92.2% of the base material’s tensile strength, and the fracture elongation was 8.5%. The tensile specimens fractured in the heat-affected zone. The fracture surface was characterized as plastic fracture.

This paper studied and framed TIG and A-TIG welding procedure of LY12 aluminum alloy and analyzed the metallurgical structure and hardness of weld zone of TIG and A-TIG under different welding current. The result showed the strengthening phase which separated out from the basal body of TIG weld zone was obviously fewer than A-TIG and the strengthening phase of TIG obviously decreased when welding current increased. Compared with TIG weld zone, surface activating flux changed the metallurgical structure of A-TIG weld zone and the strengthening phase of A-TIG weld zone was more than TIG. The strengthening phase of A-TIG weld zone did not obviously decreased when welding current increased that implied the strengthening phase of A-TIG did not obviously dissolve into the basal body as TIG and only coarsened with the increase of welding current. The hardness experiment of weld zone showed that the hardness of A-TIG weld zone was higher than TIG and the hardness of 60%NaF+40%SiO2 activating flux of A-TIG weld zone was higher than 40%NaF+60%SiO2 activating flux.

Resistance spot welding was used to join low carbon steel and A5250 Aluminum alloy sheets. Mechanical properties and failure behavior of the spot welds in terms of peak load, failure energy and failure mode, were evaluated using tensile- shear test. Relationship between welding current and mechanical properties was investigated. It was found that the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds in the weld fusion zone is the key governing factor for mechanical properties of dissimilar Al alloy/low carbon steel resistance spot weld. Increasing welding current, increases both peak load and energy absorption due to increasing overall bond area and transition in failure mode from interfacial to pullout failure mode.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

This present work explored the welding process of gas metal arc welding for 4mm 5E61 Er-containing aluminum alloy, and then analyzed the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joint. The results demonstrated that when the welding current was 160A-220A, the welded joint penetration depth range was 5.75mm to 6.72mm, the melting width ranging from 9.68mm to 11.61mm. When the arc voltage increased from 17.5V to 22.5V, the penetration depth of the welded joint reduced from 6.95mm to 5.57mm, and the melting width ranged from 6.64mm to 11.86mm. When the welding current was 170A, the arc voltage was 17.5V, and the welding speed was 10mm/s. In the third case, a fully penetrated welded joint can be obtained and the joint strength was the highest value. The yield strength reached 192 MPa, the tensile strength can be 301 MPa, and the fracture location occurred in the HAZ. The weld zone of the welded joint mainly consist of the equiaxed dendrites size of 50 μm. The micro-hardness of the weld zone was lower than that of the base metal, and there was no obvious softening phenomenon in the heat affected zone.
