Tensile, fatigue, bending, Charpy, and microhardness tests were carried out both on the AA6082-T6 parent material and on the gas metal arc weldments. The results of Charpy tests revealed higher energy absorption values for the welded material. The high temperature which the material is subjected to during the fusion welding brings to an extreme softening effect, reducing the strength of the material.
