A method of welding a workpiece assembly includes positioning a flange adjacent to a web to form a workpiece assembly having an interface between a flange edge surface and a web side surface, and in which a web edge portion protrudes beyond a flange front surface on a front side of the workpiece assembly. The method additionally includes constraining the flange and the web against movement, and moving a plasma arc welding (PAW) torch, located on the front side of the workpiece assembly, along a lengthwise direction of the interface, while causing a plasma arc to pass through a flange edge portion and the web side surface, and generate molten material that joins the flange to the web.

Method of welding a workpiece assembly

A method for manufacturing a part including steps of (1) casting an ingot, (2) scalping the ingot to yield a scalped ingot, (3) homogenizing the scalped ingot to yield a homogenized ingot, (4) breakdown of the homogenized ingot to yield a slab, (5) rolling the slab to yield a rolled aluminum material, (6) annealing the rolled aluminum material to yield an aluminum starting material, (7) cold working the aluminum starting material to obtain an aluminum cold worked material, and (8) forming the part from the aluminum cold worked material.

Method for manufacturing anodized aluminum alloy parts without surface discoloration

A method for manufacturing a part including steps of providing an aluminum starting material, wherein the aluminum starting material is in an anneal temper, cold working the aluminum starting material to obtain an aluminum cold worked material, and forming the part from the aluminum cold worked material.
