EnglishThe Effect of Filler ER4043 and ER5356 on Porosity Distribution of Welded AA6061
The filler metal used during welding process is believed to play an important role on porosity formation in aluminium alloy welded. The present investigation is aimed to study the effect of different fillers ER4043 (Al-5%Si) and ER5356 (Al-5%Mg) on porosity formation of AA6061 alloy welded joints.
There are many high quality ER4043 and ER5356 soldering irons, there are also bad quality soldering irons. Need to buy products from a reputable supplier.
Butt-joint welds were made on 6 mm thick plates using 21 – 22V arc voltages by using Gas Metal Arc Welding process (GMAW). The hardness profile of each types of AA6061 welded joints for both fillers were characterized by the Vickers microhardness test. In order to study the formation and distribution of porosity, the images of analysis were obtained using the X- ray CT-Scan. It was observed that, more porosities were found in the alloy AA6061 using ER4043 compared to ER5356 filler metals with the percentage area value of porosity about 18.3 and 8.4%, respectively.
The hardness profile of ER5356 and ER4043 welded materials exhibited the similar hardness pattern profile. It is proposed that Si and Mg contents in the filler metal could play significant role in the distribution of porosity. No significant effect was observed on the hardness profile for both filler metals of welded materials.
