State of the art review of the stability and welding of aluminium alloy elements
Abstract
Although aluminium is a structural material that has been present on the market for a long time, its use is not in accordance with the benefits that can be achieved by its application. While it is similar to steel, there are significant differences between these materials, both in manufacturing and in physical and mechanical properties. Due to such differences, these materials exhibit distinct features in the areas of cross sectional and elements stability and welds. These areas are still an active field of research due to a large number of alloys, processing methods, and cross-sectional shapes.
