Abstract
The technology of joining thin elements (0.8-2.0 mm), made from aluminium alloys, by the argon-arc welding with use of a drop dosing of the electrode metal, is described. The process of arc welding is presented, its main parameters are given and the strength of the joints is examined. Recommendations are given on the selection of conditions of butt joint welding
Keywords: argon-arc welding, aluminium alloys, thinsheet elements, drop dosing, drop formation, joint, strength, stability
