Microstructure and mechanical properties of 2060 Al–Li alloy welded by alternating current cold metal transfer with high-frequency pulse current

Al–Li alloy has been widely used in the aerospace field owing to its high strength and low density. In this study, alternating current cold metal transfer (AC CMT) along with a high-frequency pulse current technique was used to weld a 2060 Al–Li alloy using an ER5356 wire. The effect of pulse freque...
