“…The intermittent wire feeding method has been described by Ario et al 24) in elsewhere paper, the configuration parameter was influenced by welding speed, wire feeding speed, feeding time, and delaying time. Figure 1 shows pulsation timing feeding (ON) and delaying (OFF) in 1 cycle time period.…”

In this study, the effect of variation of intermittent wire feeding method on thermal histories during the welding process, the physical appearance, mechanical properties, and fracture mode was investigated. The configuration parameter of wire feeding was determined by the properties of the so-called length ratio (RL). It was influenced by welding speed, wire feeding speed, feeding time, and delaying time. Bigger value of length ratio tends to have a smaller bead width with a higher cap. Also, a larger ratio tends to have bigger tensile strength and the fracture location close to the weld bead.

“…Aluminum is a material that is often used in various applications such as automotive, aircraft, construction, and piping systems [1][2][3]. Good corrosion resistance, weldability, thermal conductivity, and strength-to-weight ratio are the advantages of aluminum and its alloys [4][5][6][7].…”

“…One of the aluminum alloys that is often used is the 6xxx series, especially the 6063 series. The AA6063 series aluminum alloy is widely used as a construction frame because the alloy has sufficient strength without reducing electrical conductivity, so it is used for power cables [2]. Magnesium and silicon form the compound Mg2Si (magnesium silicide), which provides high strength to this alloy after heat treatment.…”

“…Another advantage of using TIG welding is that the filler metal feeder's speed and the amount of current used can be adjusted so that the parent metal penetration can be regulated. With this arrangement, the TIG welding process can be used on thin steel plates or thick steel plates [2]. Therefore, this welding has been widely applied to various metals, including aluminum [12].…”

“…Therefore, if the heat input is constant, it is necessary to vary the wire feeder's input, one of which is by using the intermittent controlled wire feeding method. Ario et al [2] investigated the effect of a controlled intermittent wire feeding method on AA6063 series aluminum. The results show that the Mg content is higher in the middle area weld metal with a high-density eutectic phase for the microstructure.…”

In this study, AA 6063 aluminum was joined using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding with a butt joint. The ER-5356 filler metal feeding method is used intermittently to find its effect on weld geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and chemical composition. The dimensions of the specimens used in this study were 120 mm × 50 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm. The ratio used is the configuration of the feed time and delay time. The length ratio of wire filler is varied from a ratio of 4 to 6. The top bead width and back bead width decreased by 17.66% and 40.33%, respectively. At a ratio of 6, it has the largest cross-sectional area of 295.37 ± 27.60 mm2. The results show that the general tensile strength was proportional to the ratio, but the difference was not significant, only around ±8 MPa. The microstructure formed in each weld has different characteristics; conversely, grains with a relatively coarse structure have decreased hardness values. The chemical composition test shows that the length ratio of filler metal feed directly correlates with magnesium’s average weight content, where the weight content of magnesium value tends to be homogeneous in all areas of weld metal (WM).
