Abstract

As popular aluminum alloys, the 5xxx Al-Mg series, such as 5050 and 5052, etc., are widely used in applications such as automobile, pressure vessels, armor plate, and components for marine and cryogenic service. In this, as in all non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys, the weld metal zone is considered to be the weakest part of the joint and is the location of failure when the joint is loaded in tension during welding [1]. Solidification behavior of the weld pool, which controls the microstructure of the weld metal zone, plays a critical role in determining the ultimate strength of the joint.
