Abstract

This body of work reveals the weldability of commercially pure aluminium after the base metal received different amounts of hot and cold work. This process included the continuous casting of molten aluminium Alloy 1235 directly into an endless coiled strip suitable for cold rolling. Following casting and hot rolling, the material was cold rolled (at room temperature) to different thicknesses and reduction ratios. Gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used to join the aluminium plats after both hot and cold rolling operations. The purpose of these studies was to determine the influence of the workpiece temper condition and thickness on weldability. This contribution summarises the main results of this investigation.

Kurzfassung

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Schweißbarkeit von kommerziellem Reinaluminium, nachdem der Grundwerkstoff bei verschiedenen Kalt- und Warm-Graden bearbeitet wurde. Dieser Prozess schließt den Endlosguss der geschmolzenen Aluminiumlegierung 1235 in ein endlos gewickeltes Coil ein, das zum Kaltwalzen geeignet ist. Im Anschluss an das Gießen und Warmwalzen wurde der Werkstoff bei Raumtemperatur in unterschiedlich dicke Bleche kaltgewalzt. Mit Hilfe des Wolfram Inertgas Schweißen (WIG) wurden die warm- und kaltgewalzten Bleche verbunden. Der Zweck dieser Studien war es, den Einfluss der Anlassbedingungen und der Dicke des Werkstücks auf die Schweißbarkeit zu prüfen. Die Ergebnisse werden im folgenden zusammengefasst.


Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Mont Ahmet Karaaslan, born 1968, studied from 1986 to 1990 metallurgy and materials technology at the Technical University Yildiz in Istanbul, Turkey. In 1999 he received the doctor's degree at the Institut of Metallurgy and Material Testing at the Montanuniversity Leoben/Austria and returned to the University of Yildiz, Instanbul, where he is now working at the Institut for materials technology.
