Abstract
Today, AA5083 and AA6013 aluminum alloys among wrought aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding and automotive industries. These aluminum alloys differ from each other from the point of view of weldability, endurance properties and being convenient for heat treatment. AA5083 and AA6013 are welded by the tungsten inert gas welding method with two different electrodes (AlSi12—AlSi5) and six different sample parameters have been obtained as 5083-AlSi12-5083, 5083-AlSi5-5083, 6013-AlSi12-6013, 6013-AlSi5-6013, 5083-AlSi12-6013, 5083-AlSi-6013. The mechanical properties of the samples were investigated by micro-hardness scans, tensile, Charpy impact and three point bending tests.In addition to these, some of the welding samples of 6013-AlSi12-6013, 6013-AlSi5-6013, 5083-AlSi12-6013, 5083-AlSi5-6013 which consist of 6013 alloy were exposed to ageing heat treatment, hardness scans, Charpy impact and three point bending tests. The obtained results have been analyzed and compared to previous results. © 2013, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
