Investigation of the effect of welding parameters on the mechanical properties of aluminum

In this thesis, two different welding bent, V and II, were opened to 6082-T6 aluminum alloy and MIG welding was made to this alloy by using different current intensities and filler wires in different alloys. It is aimed to investigate the effect of this welding process on the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy. The effect of the alloy, which is welded with different current intensities and filler wires in different alloys, on mechanical properties such as yielding and tensile strength, hardness and notch impact energy were investigated. It has been observed that the strength and mechanical properties of the alloy generally increase as the welding current strength increases (between 150-160 A) depending on the filler wires used and the welding bent.
