Abstract

This report was about to investigate “Joining Performance of Aluminum T6063 Parts Using TIG Welding”. This study was conducted by using several testing method. Aluminum was a very good conductor of heat. The heat was rapidly conducted away from the arc area and spread over the workpiece. Material preparation was the one of the most important in aluminum welding. This requires more consideration than it is often times given. Aluminum was very susceptible to contaminants which can cause considerable problems when welding. Aluminum was lightweight material and also resistant to corrosion. The material that use in this study was aluminum T6063 and the material thickness was 10mm. the material was provide from Nautical Line (M) Sdn Bhd. The composition for this type of aluminum was magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. Contain additions of silicon and manganese up to 1,7 % and 1,2% respectively. It has generally good mechanical properties and was heat treatable and weldable. The mechanical properties of 6063 depend greatly on the temper, or heat treatment, of the material. Butt joint was the type of welding joining that use in this research. Butt joint was the general joining in welding and it was widely using. The specimens were prepare and welded by certified and skillful welder from Nautical Line (M) Sdn Bhd. The welding parameter the company welder uses which still in range of standard welding parameter. There were three type of testing method involved; impact test, hardness and Non destructive test. By completing this test; the obtained result which been brought out have been used for further analysis. From here, the result on performance of welding joining for aluminum using GTAW / TIG welding can be technically reveal.
