Abstract
In this study, 2195-T8 Al-Li alloy joints were welded by tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding with three different gas protection strategies. The porosity distribution of the joints was quantified by Computed tomography (CT), and the tensile properties of the joints were evaluated. The results indicate that with appropriate back gas protection, the average ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the joints reach 396 MPa and 5.0 %, respectively, increased by 9.6 % and 47.1 % compared to the joints without back gas protection. Back gas protection effectively reduces porosity at the weld root, thereby preventing crack initiation from here during the tensile test.
