It was attempted to improve the wear resistance of Al alloy under the load condition by making a formation of the thicker surface hardening alloy layers. The thicker surface hardening alloy layers were formed on 6061 Al alloys overlayed by MIG and TIG welding process with Cu powders feeding. The characteristics of hardening and wear resistance have been investigated in relation to the microstructures of alloyed layers, with a selection of optimum alloying conditions for formation of overlaying layer. The results obtained were summarized as follows With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by MIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased. It is considered that these high hardness and specific wear of overlay weld alloys were due to the formation of Θ($Al_2Cu$) phases. With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by TIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased in feeding rates 12 and 18g/min. However, the hardness and specific wear were decreased in the powder feeding rate 38g/min. It is considered that considered that decrease of hardness and specific wear in the powder feeding rate 38g/min due to formation of ${\gamma}$($Al_4Cu_9$) phases.

알루미늄과 그 합금은 항공우주산업이나 가정용 기물 밖에도 일반공업용 재료로써 차량 토목건축 조선 화학식품 전기와 원자로등 많은 공업분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근에 용접법의 발전과 합금의 개발에 의하여 알루미늄 합금은 보통의 금속재료에 대하여 사용하고 있는 거의 대부분의 접합법에 의하여 용이하게 접합할 수가 있다. 그 중에서도 불활성 가스 아아크용접이 널리 사용 되고 있는 것은 주지의 사실이나 알루미늄 합금의 종류는 용도에 따라서 다양 다종이여서 그 종류에 의하여 용접성(weldability)의 난이가 있음으로 합금의 특징이나 용접부의 거동을 잘 알 고서 모재와 용가재의 선정에 충분한 주의와 세심한 관찰이 필요하다.

Friction stir welding results in low distortion and high joint strength compared with other welding procedures, and is able to join all aluminium alloys that are not considered as virtually weldable with classical liquid state techniques. The comparative study on high cycle fatigue properties between A16005-T6 friction stir welds and MIG weld joints have been performed and fracture mechanisms for the fatigue specimens were investigated. Although mechanical properties are lower than the corresponding base material, FSW joints of A16005-T6 become higher at tensile and fatigue strength in comparison with the traditional fusion weld(MIG). The fracture surfaces of FSW and MIG fatigue specimens cleary show different aspects of the fracture morphology. MIG weldments were characterized by voids and cleavage(brittle fracture) but FSW specimens showed the presence of ductile fracture surface.
