Design and development of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 pressure vessel liner for aerospace applications: A technical brief

Abstract: This work mainly focuses on designing a novel aluminum alloy 6061-T6 pressure vessel liner intended for use in launch vehicles. Fabrication of custom-made welding fixtures for the assembly of liner parts, namely two hemispherical domes and end boss, is illustrated. The parts of the liner are joined using the cold metal transfer welding process, and the welding trials are performed to arrive at an optimized parametric range. The metallurgical characterization of weld joint reveals the existence of dendritic str… Show more

“…Additionally, it was investigated how the mechanical performance of composite pipes changed under environmental conditions and it has been found that the humidity rate and sea water were highly effective on the performance. In the study conducted by Pramod et al, [ 15 ] it was aimed to design aluminium alloy 6061‐T6 liners for pressure vessels used in aerospace applications. In this context, the liner components consisting of two hemispherical domes and the end boss were combined using cold metal transfer molding process, and their mechanical properties were experimentally investigated.…”
