Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding had been applied to produce four double-V butt welded joints performed on thick plates made from 6082-T6 aluminum alloy. The thicknesses of the plates are 18, 45, 60, and 80mm.This type of aluminum alloy is very sensitive to heat due to its high conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient. Heat from TIG welding reduces the strength of the cited welded plates in the welding zone and in the heat affected zone (HAZ) and favorites the formation of porosities and solidification cracks in the welded joints. Porosities and solidification cracks are the most frequent imperfection that appear in this type of welded joints and they are often the reason which prevent them to comply with the requirements of the BS EN ISO 10675-2: 2017 Non destructive testing of welds: Acceptance levels for radiography testing-Aluminium and its alloys, and of the BS EN ISO 23277: 2015 penetrant testing of welds –Acceptance levels. This article represents the type of the filler metal that used and the welding parameters that applied to perform TIG welding of the cited thick plates in order to get welded joints that are free from porosities and solidification cracks as confirmed by X-ray radiography and by red dye penetrant testing of these welded joints.

This paper will present the influence of joining process parameters on the structure and properties of overlapped welded joints of 1.8 mm DOCOL 1200M steel. The obtained welded joints were subjected to micro- and macroscopic metallographic examination and hardness measurement. The visual inspections and non-destructive testing made it possible to develop the field of welding parameters to allow obtaining full penetration joints (depending on requirements) or partial penetration joints. For present welding parameters, i.e. feed rate and weld length, which are constant, the actual length of weld is determined by welding frequency. In each case, the microscopic examinations revealed martensitic structure in the weld area, and with the increase in linear welding energy the size of martensite needles became larger, especially in relation to the base material. In HAZ, the martensitic structure is tempered. It has been shown that with appropriately selected parameters the Laser SEAM Stepper method is suitable for welding the DOCOL 1200M steel. With the increase in welding power, the penetration depth increases.

The paper presents the research results on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 7020 and its FSW and MIG welded joints. For comparison, alloy 5083 – the most currently used in shipbuilding alloy was chosen as well as 5059 – the new high-strength alloy. Besides, the native material alloys there were investigated their joints welded by FSW and MIG – the same methods as alloy 7020. Welding parameters used for the connection of the sheets made of 7020, 5083 and 5059 alloys were presented. Metallographic analysis showed the correct construction of structural bonded joints.Friction Stir Welding (FSW) – a new technology can be successfully used for butt welding of different types of aluminum alloy sheets. FSW method can be an alternative to traditional arc welding methods, especially MIG, which is the most common method of joining aluminum alloys used in shipbuilding. The research was carried out using a static tensile test in accordance with the requirements of the Polish Standards PN-EN ISO 4136:2011 and PN-EN ISO 6892-1:2010. Flat samples cut perpendicular to the direction of rolling were used. The research was conducted at the temperature of +20 oC.Friction stir welded joints of tested alloys have higher strength properties as compared to MIG welded joints. The 7020 alloy has higher strength properties then alloys 5083 and 5059. The yield stress is higher by 14.8% as compared to alloy 5083, and by 11.7% as compared to the alloy 5059. Plastic properties of alloy 7020 are the lowest, but with reserves meet the requirements of classification societies. The joints welded by FSW of alloy 7020 have the highest strength properties of all researched joints – higher then alloys 5083 and 5059 joints welded by FSW and joints of all alloys welded by MIG.
