Abstract
Variants of improvement of the technology for manufacture of three-dimensional welded structures from thin-sheet elements are considered. Examples of small-size mock-ups of specific products are presented. Recommendations for reducing residual deformations in thin-sheet welded structures are given. Variants of the welded T-joints used in manufacture of stringer panels are shown. Resistance of welded joints to intercrystalline corrosion is estimated.
 
 
Keywords: electron beam welding, aluminium alloys, thinsheet three-dimensional structures, dissimilar welded joints, mechanical properties, intercrystalline corrosion, crack resistance
