Review on Activated Gas Tungsten Arc Welding for Joining of Similar and Dissimilar Aluminium Alloys
Authors
Abstract
In the present study, an attempt was made to examine the involvement of similar
and dissimilar aluminum alloys when used with the A-GTAW process, to understand the relevant
mechanisms behind the activity of flux , to understand the participation of similar and different
aluminum alloys on A-GTA welding parameters and weld mechanical properties.A-GTAW for
joining similar aluminum alloys gives lower mechanical properties i.e. tensile strength. The
assembly of dissimilar aluminum alloys overcomes the disadvantage of GTA welding, which
increases the mechanical properties, i.e. the tensile strength.The use of Activated GTAW assist
process is one of the most important advances in overcoming the shortcomings of GTA welding,
helping to increase the penetration depth and depth to width ratio of the weld pool, thereby
increasing productivity. of welding and also helps to achieve better mechanical properties.
