How to Weld 7175 T351 Aerospace Aluminum Plate?

Welding 7175 T351 aerospace aluminum plate requires precision and careful execution to ensure a strong and reliable weld. Here are the steps to weld 7175 T351 aerospace aluminum plate:

1. Safety Precautions: Before starting the welding process, ensure that you have the necessary safety equipment, including welding gloves, helmet, and protective clothing. Make sure you are working in a well-ventilated area or use a fume extraction system to remove any harmful fumes.

2. Prepare the Workpiece: Clean the aluminum plate thoroughly using a wire brush or chemical cleaner to remove any dirt, grease, or oxide layers. Ensure that the plate is completely dry before welding.

3. Select the Right Welding Method: There are various welding methods suitable for welding aluminum, including TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, and laser welding. TIG welding is generally preferred for aerospace applications due to its precision and control.

4. Set Up the Welding Machine: Adjust the welding machine settings according to the thickness of the aluminum plate and the type of welding method you are using. Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for the specific settings required for welding 7175 T351 aluminum.

5. Prepare the Weld Joint: Determine the type of joint you will be welding, such as a butt joint, lap joint, or T-joint. Ensure that the edges of the aluminum plate are properly beveled or chamfered to allow for better penetration and fusion during welding.

6. Welding Technique: Start by positioning the TIG torch or MIG gun at a 10-15 degree angle from the vertical plane, aiming the heat towards the thicker section of the joint. Maintain a steady travel speed and move the torch or gun in a controlled manner along the joint, ensuring proper fusion and penetration.

7. Post-Weld Inspection: After completing the weld, inspect it visually for any defects, such as cracks or porosity. You can also perform non-destructive testing methods, such as dye penetrant testing or ultrasonic testing, to ensure the quality of the weld.

8. Post-Weld Treatment: Allow the weld to cool naturally to room temperature. Once cool, you can remove any excess weld material using a grinder or file, if necessary. You may also choose to perform post-weld heat treatment to relieve any residual stress and improve the mechanical properties of the weld.

Remember, welding 7175 T351 aerospace aluminum plate requires expertise and experience. If you are not confident in your welding skills, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional welder or welding engineer.

Due to its good performance in physical properties, the aluminium plate is widely used in different industries, some of which include:
