Abstract
Weldability of high-strength aluminium alloys 2024-T351 and 7010-T7651 100 mm thick in electron beam welding has been studied. It is shown that EBW can be used to produce sound welded joints with a high static strength and sufficiently reliable service properties.
Keywords: electron beam welding, high-strength aluminium alloys, welded joints, weldability, great thickness, microstructure, physico-mechanical properties
