Abstract
On the analysis basis of trends in the development of aluminum alloy plasma welding it is shown that in most cases for critical structures there is used welding with a non-consumable electrode on reversed polarity with adding wire material. A welding method with a hollow anode to increase non-consumable tungsten electrode durability is described. It is shown that to increase quality of welded joints in aluminum-lithium alloys the application of plasma-forming gas programmable pulse feed has promising outlooks. In this case side by side with the decrease of such defects as pores and oxide films the obtaining of more fine-grained structure in metal seams is marked.
