Abstract
This paper deals with monitoring the influence of welding on the mechanical properties degradation in HAZ of welds at aluminium alloy AW 6005 and also with assessing the possibility of utilization the heat treatment to minimize these effects. Workpieces from alloy AW 6005 are mostly supplied in aged state. After application of the temperature cycles during welding, there is a very intensive decrease of the mechanical properties in HAZ. The mechanical properties of the weld metal, HAZ and parent material were evaluated by means of the Vickers hardness. Moreover, influence of annealing and artificial aging on the final mechanical properties of the parent material was also evaluated. Based on the results, there were chosen the relevant heat treatment parameters, which were subsequently applied in order to recover the mechanical properties of welds in the HAZ.
