Additional information

This paper formed part of the output of the Cranfield University Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre under the project FUSEA3. The other members of the project consortium were ALCOA, BAE Systems, and Manchester University. The project was sponsored by an MOD-EPSRC collaborative scheme which was performed in collaboration with LATEST; (Light Alloys Towards Environmentally Sustainable Transport EP/D029201/1) EP/G022402/1).

The work outlined in this paper provides insight into the mechanical and ballistic properties of weld metal between thick aluminium sections. This knowledge is vital in the design of military vehicles to ensure crew safety when subject to ballistic or blast loading.
