Investigation of The Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of The TIG Welded Joining of Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

In this study, 6xxx series aluminum alloy is joined with TIG welding method. Welds were used as additional metal (5356 AlMg type additional wire) was in the joints. Tensile tests were applied to samples prepared in two different standard sizes in order to determine the strengths of welded joints. In addition, hardness measurements of welded samples were obtained from welding zone, HAZ and base material.
