The Mechanical and Microstructural Study of Welded AA7075 Using Different Filler Metals

This paper discussed about the consequences of using different filer metal by metal inert gas (MIG) welding process on aluminium alloys Al 7075 sheet metal joint. Nowadays, Al 7075 is widely used in automobile and aviation industry due to its light weight, strong, and high hardness. Fusion welding,...
