The Combined Effect of Thickness and Tensile Strength on Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Dissimilar Welded Aluminum Alloys
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of the current work is to investigate the combined effect of thickness and mechanical properties of dissimilar aluminum alloys annealed AA6061-O and heat-treated AA7075-T6 on the tensile strength of a joint. Joint is made by Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding using suitable fillers Al 4047 and Al 5356. Different samples i.e. welded over-nugget sample (WOS), welded ground sample (WGS) and base material (BM) were analyzed under tensile loading. Besides this, the effect of grounded and as-welded bead on the joint properties of the weld is explained in this research. The joint is also characterized by micro-structural attributes using electron microscopy and the grain size is observed as well.
