Abstract
In the TIG welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding, metal components are bonded by applying heat or pressure. Inert gas is used in pulsed current welding to encapsulate the electrodes and weld pools. Tungsten inert gas is used in the complex welding process known as TIG welding. It alternates between amps operating at high and low levels. Here, increasing the current results in improved power production and weld quality. Pulsed current TIG welding is advantageous for aluminum alloys. Pulsating electricity is used in a type of welding known as pulse welding. It’s a twist on the standard welding method. Premium alloys such as magnesium, aluminum, and stainless steel should be used to produce welding connections of the highest caliber Pulsed TIG welding is frequently considered the most complex of all the welding processes utilized in industry. The metal aluminum was created and put to use in manufacturing in 1825. This study is based on the aluminum alloys 6060, which are among the nine types of aluminum alloys. Since they withstand corrosion well, lightweight metals like aluminum and others are a good choice for car body. Aluminum alloys are also used in applications related to the railroad, aerospace, automobile, and nautical sectors because of their light weight. Welders must maintain a low arc length, which requires them to employ great caution and skill to avoid electrode contact with the workpiece. TIG welding is widely used to combine thin stainless-steel pieces, non-ferrous metals such copper alloys, magnesium, and aluminum, and other materials.
