This project addresses important considerations in the welding of 200 series alloys, specifically castings produced from A206 alloy. This alloy is difficult to weld unless key process parameters are controlled. As the volume of the welded area increases, the difficulty is compounded. We show that control of temperature of the casting during welding is the most important process parameter for low defect welding with acceptable mechanical properties, assuming that basic good welding practices are followed. The weld filler rod is also an important consideration, with the most successful welds produced using 2319 alloy.
