“…Elseddig et al [238] studied the effects of beam current, sweep size, WS, and focus position on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) when welding AA1350 aluminum alloy with electron beam. They predicted the optimal arrangements of the welding parameters focused on the maximizing UTS of the weld joint.…”

To fulfil a need of limitation automotive emissions the reduction of vehicle weight is widely recommended and achieved in many ways, both by the construction of individual elements of the vehicle, and by the selection of light materials including Al alloys. Connecting these elements with each other and with elements made of iron alloys can be realized, inter alia, by welding or stir welding. However, the quality of the welds obtained varies widely and depends on many design, operational and environmental factors. The present study focused on a review of various welding technics used to joint both similar and dissimilar Al alloys utilized in automotive industry, the effect of various process parameters on welds quality, and phenomena appeared in such welds..

The present study focused on a review of various welding techniques used to join both similar and dissimilar Al alloys utilized in the automotive industry, the effect of various process parameters on weld quality, and the phenomena observed in such welds. The research methodology was based on the analysis of the content of articles from main databases. Apart from capturing the current state of the art, this review evaluates reaching the possible highest joint quality and welding process disadvantages such as porosity, poor surface quality, a tendency toward hot cracking, and low ductility for the Al alloys applied in the automotive industry.

“…EBW application with improper parameters can cause deformities that seriously affect the joint quality. Elseddig et al [15] investigated beam current, welding speed, sweep size, focus position' on the mechanical strength of AA1350 aluminium. They emphasized the importance of parameter study in narrowing the HAZ and increasing the strength of the welding region; according to the experimental design, they applied EBW for AA1350 alloy, a material with low weldability.…”

Joining the aluminium 6061-T6 alloy (Al6061-T6) using Electron Beam Welding (EBW) wais important, especially in aerospace. Although the EBW method has been used for different materials in the literature, there are a limited number of studies for Al6061-T6 alloy. The study aimed at the weldability and welding quality of 6061-T6 aluminium alloy plates by experimentally and numerically using the EBW technique. A numerical model has been generated to obtain the appropriate voltage, beam current, and welding speed parameters to simulate the EBW process instead of the hit and trial method, which is costly. The numerical model is based on a user-defined function based on the heat source as a function of temperature, welding parameters and material properties. The validation of the model has been compared by obtained width from numerical model and experimental work. Three EBW parameter sets were employed with the numerical model. Three different experimental parameter sets were determined according to the most suitable processing parameter that emerged from the numerical model, and experimental studies were carried out. Experimental studies showed defects in the microstructure due to process defects by unsuitable parameters. While the mechanical strength was 70% of the tensile strength performance compared to the main material, the elongation performance was 75%. The microhardness of the heat affected zone was measured as 84% of the base material, and a hardness reduction of 40% was also observed in the fusion zone. In addition, it showed that using the proper parameter set can eliminate such defects. The application of post-weld heat treatment procedures that can effectively improve the mechanical properties could be investigated in future studies.
