Abstract:Numerical simulation and experimental methods were used to investigate the effects of weld penetration on tensile properties of 2219 aluminum alloy tungsten inert gas (TIG) welded joints. The results show that when other geometric parameters are consistent, within a certain range, the deeper the weld penetration of the capping weld is, the lower the tensile strength of the joint is. The deeper weld penetration of the capping weld can cause the more concentrated stress at the weld toe and the joint is more likely to crack accordingly. Based on necessary assumptions, a model for analyzing the mathematical relation between the weld penetration of the capping weld and the tensile strength of the joint was proposed to validate the experimental results. The decrease of weld penetration of capping weld can be controlled by decreasing welding current, helium content or increasing welding voltage.
