Effect of artificial ageing temperature in t6-heat treatment on the mechanical properties of dissimilar metals weld between aa5083 and aa6063
Purpose: Aluminium AA5083 is commonly utilised in constructing ship hull shells, which are welded with aluminium AA6063 to act as stiffeners. However, the joints often suffer structural damage, such as longitudinal and transverse cracks in the dissimilar weld area, particularly in the Heat-Affected...
