Abstract

The application of the variable polarity plasma arc welding process to A12219 is described. The thickness of aluminum alloy is 11.45mm and 5.08mm. 1-pass keyhole welding is applied to butt welding and 2-pass welding is also applied to thick material. During welding, all welding parameters are controlled by automated system and acquired by 10kHz rate. This paper covers the welding parameters, result of non-destructive test and tensile test.
