Influence of Post Weld Heat Treatment on Strength of Three Aluminum Alloys Used in Light Poles

Influence of Post Weld Heat Treatment on Strength of Three Aluminum Alloys Used in Light Poles

The conjoint influence of welding and artificial aging on mechanical properties were investigated for extrusions of aluminum alloy 6063, 6061, and 6005A. Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on the aluminum alloys 6063-T4, 6061-T4, and 6005A-T1 in both the as-received (AR) and as-welded (AW) condit...
