Abstract

Welding is an essential process for infrastructure development since its wide application in automobile, aerospace, pipelines, power plant, construction, etc. Among welding of different materials, welding of aluminum alloys remains the point of focus for researchers because aluminum alloys are widely used in the architectural, structural, aerospace, and automotive applications. But welding of aluminum is a challenging task as aluminum easily reacts with the atmospheric air and causes serious defects. Again, repeatability of welding depends on its control on welding speed and other processing parameters. The present paper focuses on the defects and strength analysis of AA6063-T6 aluminum alloy welded by two different welding processes: AC TIG welding process and solid-state joining process called as friction stir welding (FSW). The defects and tensile strength for both welding processes were analyzed by using X-ray radiography and universal testing machine, respectively, and the results were compared. The results revealed that FSW can be a better option for welding AA6063-T6 compared to TIG welding.
