“…Furthermore, the welder maintains a constant separation between the workpiece and the electrode and the torch is moved again backward in a range of 10-25 degrees vertically and filler metal is further applied to the end of the weld pool as required. Filler rods are always withdrawn from the weld pool at the instance of the advancement of the electrodes; however, it must be maintained inside the gas shield to avoid the rusting of surface due to the weld [4].…”

“…This is because smoke is absent during the welding process and the electric arc light is not protected by fumes compared to that of shield metal arc welding. Thus, causing operators to be exposed to the ultraviolet lights [4].…”

“…However, excessive heat input will cause the growth weld bead of width and possibility of molten metals in the form of droplets will ensue. More so, if the distance between the welding torch and the workpiece is large, there will be inadequacies with the shielding gas, porosity will eventually ensue in the weld (formation of pinholes), and this will be weaker than the normal weld [4].…”

The review focused on the applications of tungsten inert gas a (TIG) metal inert gas (MIG) welding processes. Each of the welding process was critical studied to understand the operations and the need to maintain safety and reliable weld with adequate mechanical properties. In addition, the various applications in the aerospace, aeronautic, automotive and food packaging industries were critically highlighted. However, there potentials as well as problems highlighted have been critically reviewed and reported especially porosity which usually result into hole defects at the weld joint as well as plastic deformation due to the frictional heat induced have been reported in this study. Furthermore, the study further recommended friction stir processes integrated with TIG/MIG welding as an alternative method that will solve the problems associated with fatigue behaviour of welded joint. Thus, the study provided potential information to all stakeholders especially the professional welders on the need-to-know which method is applicable to aluminium alloy welding

“…Pulsed-Tungsten Inert Gas with particular Al-Mg filler rods, such as ER5356 and ER5183, can be used to successfully weld AA5754-H111. Hardness was measured using Vickers micro-hardness testing equipment, and tensile characteristics were analyzed using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) along the weld's transverse axis [1,2]. Aluminium alloys are typically welded using the PTIG technique.…”

Aluminium and its alloys were widely used in engineering because they are lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion. However, using standard arc welding techniques can be difficult when dealing with such materials. Pulsed-Tungsten Inert Gas (PTIG) welding is being researched as a potential solution to this problem. This study is the first to investigate the use of the straightforward and intuitive PTIG technique on the ubiquitous AA5754 wrought aluminium alloy. Welded samples were supplied for examination of mechanical parameters such as surface hardness and strength under impact and tensile loading. The results of a statistical analysis of the mechanical characterization of a PTIG-welded permanent joint fabricated from AA5754 aluminium alloy were presented and discussed. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the AA5754 retracting side of the weld had a hardness of 50–70 Hv0.5, while the HAZ on the AA5756 side had a hardness of 90–100 Hv0.5, as measured by testing on the perfect weld specimen. Samples taken from different parts of the weldment all showed that the HAZ is the softest and weakest. The shattered surface of the welded sample consisted of flat facets and quasi-cleavage patterns, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. Analysis of the HAZ microstructure revealed widespread dissolution of Mg2Si precipitates in the AA5754-H111.
