Conclusions
-
1.
The ductility and strength of alloy AT6 and its weldments are high at temperatures from −60 to 500°.
-
2.
The deformability of the weld seam is approximately the same as that of the base metal.
-
3.
The corrosion resistance of alloy AT6 and its weldments in solutions of sulfuric, hydrochloric, and oxalic acids at concentrations >3% is lower than that of alloy AT3. The alloy and its weldments are corrosion resistant in solutions of acetic, formic, lactic, and citric acids.
