  • Abstract:
  • Aluminium alloys are the king in aircraft construction materials for aircraft industry since 1930.in the aerospace industry,5052-Aluminium alloy after 2014-aluminium alloy is the second most popular of the 2000- series.it is commonly forged and extruded. TIG welding can be a potential tool which is superior to the joining techniques, resulting in weight reduction with high strength in order to find out the mechanical properties at before heat treatment and after heat treatment by TIG welding, the quality of the weld is depending upon the various welding parameters and these parameters can effect on the tensile and hardness properties of the weld material. To investigating the quality of the welding of aluminium alloys (Al-2014 and Al-5052) using TIG welding process and after by evaluating mechanical properties by comparison of before heat treatment and after heat treatment. Effect of welding parameters (current and argon gas flow rate) on the tensile strength and hardness of the TIG welded joints in Al alloys has been investigated. Optical microscope analysis and Micro hardness testing done on the welded zone and identified the changes in mechanical properties of welded zone from the experimentation.
