Abstract
Abstract. Aluminum 5083 alloy consists of a mixture of elements such as aluminum, magnesium and manganese and is an important material used in a wide range of industrial applications. In this article, the general characterization of Aluminum 5083 alloy and its welding using friction stir welding are theoretically examined. The key properties of aluminum 5083 alloy include high strength, corrosion resistance, light weight, machinability and low temperature strength. These properties make the alloy preferred in various industrial applications. In areas such as the marine industry, aerospace, automotive and structural applications, Aluminum 5083 alloy is widely used. From ship hulls to aircraft parts, the alloy has a wide range of uses thanks to its high strength and corrosion resistance.
Aluminum 5083 alloy can be processed and shaped by various joining methods. Methods such as welding, spot welding, laser welding and friction mixture welding are used to join different parts of the alloy. The method to be applied is selected depending on factors such as the thickness and shape of the material, the requirements of the application and the equipment available. The reason why friction stir welding was chosen as the joining method of 5083 alloys in this study is that it is a modern and innovative method, as well as an effective method used especially in joining alloy and thermoplastic materials. This method provides high-strength and quality connections and causes less deformation and crack formation compared to traditional welding methods. Friction Stir Welding is increasingly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive and marine.
In conclusion, aluminum 5083 alloy is an important material in terms of its general characterization and properties. Thanks to its strength, lightness and corrosion resistance, it is a preferred option in many industrial applications.
