Effect of transient flame static tensioning method on distortion and mechanical properties of aluminum A5083 with MIG welding

This study aims to discover the best flame temperature in the Transient Flame Static Tensioning method. The used flame temperatures in this study are 100°C, 200°C and 300°C. The minimum distortion is performed by utilizing a flame temperature of 200°C, 300°C and 100°C. The tensile strength in the flame temperature variation of 100°C, 200°C, and 300°C is 231.197 Mpa, 169,658 Mpa, and 156.729 Mpa respectively. The highest hardness of the base metal is at a flame temperature specimen of 100°C with a value of 10.1321 kg/mm2. The highest hardness in the HAZ area is at a flame temperature variation of 300°C with a value of 15.9812 kg/mm2. The highest hardness of the welding metal area is at a flame temperature variation of 300°C with a value of 12.5805 kg/mm2. Thus, 200°C provides the ideal temperature for welding. The temperature distribution in this study indicates that higher heat input affects higher temperature around the welding area and vice versa. The provision of static cooling is to reduce the peak temperature around the welding despite insignificant results.
