[MW:16501] Thick Aluminum Welding

Hello Darcy,
 
For the thickness to be welded as mentioned  below Friction Stir welding would be  the only feasible solution. Attached are some papers on this subject, including ABS guidelines for procedure qualification. Sec-IX provides guidelines under QW-262.
 
TWI holds patents on this process, hence nothing more should be discussed publicly in the forum.
 
One of the TWI staff Sayee Raghunathan (uk.LinkedIn.com/in/sayeeraghunathan) is a member of this forum. You may get in touch with him for more details if you wish so.
 
Thanks

It can't be welded as a single joint. You can weld with adding 10mm plates. FCAW will be the best suited and fast process.

I have Aluminum plate sections to be welded for a power station
busbar.  The plate is 200 mm wide, 150 mm thick in the vertical 3F
position.  There are over 100 joints to be welded.  GMAW and GTAW may
be out of the question due to the sheer volume of weld metal required
for each joint.  Please offer time saving suggestions.
