Study on TIG welding parameters for joining different kind of aluminium tube with a tube plate

Welding is a vital metal joining technique with a wide range of industrial uses. In this study, numerous process factors such as current, feed rate, and distance between tube and work piece, among others, were used to investigate in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. We used Aluminum 6063 tube to Alu...

Description
Summary:Welding is a vital metal joining technique with a wide range of industrial uses. In this study, numerous process factors such as current, feed rate, and distance between tube and work piece, among others, were used to investigate in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. We used Aluminum 6063 tube to Aluminum 6061 tube plate for this TIG welding. After the welding is finished, a radiographic test is performed to show any welding faults that might lead to defect-free welds. The most critical control factors that would result in better joint strength were identified to use a Taguchi L9 orthogonal matrix. Furthermore, the most relevant process parameter was determined using quantitative independent test (ANOVA). In addition, the mechanical tests were performed to determine the welding strength. The value of the best welded connection strength for tubes with holes welded at interference was found to be 318.716 MPa.
