Fabrication and repair of aluminum components and structures commonly involves the use of electric arc welding. The interaction of the arc and the metal being welded generates ultraviolet radiation, metallic oxides, fumes, and gases. Aluminum is seldom used as the pure metal but is often alloyed with other metals to improve strength and other physical properties. Therefore, the exact composition of any emissions will depend on the welding process and the particular aluminum alloy being welded. To quantify such emissions, The Aluminum Association sponsored several studies to characterize arc welding emissions by the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes for various combinations of base and filler alloys. In all cases, the tests were conducted under conditions that could be found in a production weld shop without forced ventilation. The concentrations of each analyte that a welder could be exposed to were greatly affected by the welding process, the composition of the base and filler alloys, the position of the welder, and the welding helmet. The results obtained can be used by employers to identify and control potential hazards associated with the welding of aluminum alloys and can provide the basis for hazard communication to employees involved in the welding of these alloys.

Welding is a very important part in the development and growth of the industry because it has a role in engineering, repair and construction. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) is the process of joining two or more materials using a wrapped electrode as heat energy to melt the material. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect and welding defects that arise with current variations so that the optimal welding results obtained from 3 amperes were tested using E6013 electrode diameter 3,2 at the 3F welding position fillet joint. This study uses an experimental method with the material used is St 37 steel with a current variation of 90A, 100A, and 110A. From the research conducted, it was not found optimal welding results where from each ampere tested there was still a weld defect. The defects that occur in the three amperes are caused by the arc, electrode angle, and arc length that exceed the normal limit and are also influenced by the welding speed. From the three variations of the amperage used, the dominant welding results did not occur, namely the 90 amperage, while the 100 amperage welding leg showed good results.

The consequence of sub-zero treatment on the mechanical properties of welded AA6082-T6 by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) which in turn softens the heat concentrated welded region owing to dissolution of the strengthening precipitates. The sub-zero i.e. Shallow Cryogenic Treatment (SCT) is carried out on GTAW welded plate having a thickness of 6 mm at -77°C by varying the electrode travel speed and sub-zero treatment periods. Welded region of AA6082 were tested for hardness and microstructure by adapting three different conditions such as welded, post weld artificial aging with and without sub-zero treatment. Result revealed that the amount of softening in the welded region is indirectly proportional to electrode travel speed during welding process. It is also observed that the post weld SCT with artificial aging has increased the micro hardness values on the welded region as a consequence of the reactivation in the sequence of precipitation.

The concept of “sustainability” has recently risen to take the old concept of going “green” further. This article presents general methodologies for sustainability assessments. These were then adapted to measure and assess the sustainability of welding processes through building a complete framework, to determine the best welding process for a particular application. To apply this methodology, data about the welding processes would be collected and segregated into four categories: environmental impact, economic impact, social impact, and physical performance. The performance of each category would then be aggregated into a single sustainability score. To demonstrate the capability of this methodology, case studies of three different welding processes were performed. Friction stir welding obtained the highest overall sustainability score compared to gas tungsten arc welding and gas metal arc welding.

The paper presents a model of using the artificial neural networks when determining the relations of dependency between the observable parameters and the controllable ones in the case of RoboticGas Tungsten Arc Welding. The proposed model is based on the direct observation of welded joints, emphasizing on the process variables which have been arranged in the nodes of a neural network. The design of the network intended to achieve an architecture that contains four nodes in the input layer (all of them being controllable parameters) and two nodes in the output layer (one for each observable parameter).
