Aluminium alloys are widely used in the fields of electric module packaging, electronic technology, automotive body structure, wind and solar energy management, due to the advantages of high specific strength, high processability, predominantly anti-erosion, increased conductivity, eco-friendly nature and recoverability. The objective of the study is to review the previous papers on aluminium usages, application, and workability parameters. The methodology adopted for the study is to use the structure literature review technique, and the time period selected for the study is 2008–2019 from the Scopus database. The findings of the study concluded that there are various types of aluminium alloys has been used by the previous researchers, and only 6061 is least explored aluminium alloy among all of them. The future scope of the study is to investigate using distinct activating fluxes for raising penetration & to understand consequences on mechanical components & rust behaviour of TIG-welded aluminium metal welds.
