Prediction of the Properties of Heat-Affected Zone of Welded Joints of Sheets from Aluminum Alloys with Structured Surface

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Welded joints of light structured sheets from aluminum alloy EN AW-6181-T4 (DIN EN 515) of the Al – Si – Mg system are studied. The welding is performed in an argon environment with a short arc by the method of cold metal transfer (CMT®). The results of the study are used in an amended Leblond model for describing the variation of the properties of the heat-affected zone of welded joints of structured sheets.
