The welding joints were prepared in ten different combinations. Microstructure, microhardness, EDX, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were used in order to evaluate the effect of aged heat treatment on the performance of welded joints. In addition, the mechanical properties of welding joints were characterized using the tensile and microhardness tests. In conclusion, it was shown that prewelding aging heat treatment improves the mechanical properties of welding joints.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAluminum alloysAgingMIG weldSimilar and dissimilar jointsXRD analysisArticle10.1007/s00170-012-4462-z2-s2.0-8487907097118349-12Q1182566WOS:000319557200056Q2
