Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of Transient Thermal Flame (TTF) heating temperature on impact energy and distortion in Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) of Aluminum 5083 material. Impact testing was conducted at four heating temperature variations: 36°C (without heating), 75°C, 100°C, and 125°C. The results indicate that impact energy reached its peak at 75°C, with a value of 0.2714 Joule/mm², before decreasing at higher temperatures. Distortion testing showed that without heat treatment, distortion was relatively high at 11.53 mm. Applying TTF at 100°C successfully reduced distortion to 2.54 mm, the lowest recorded in this study. However, increasing the temperature to 125°C caused distortion to rise again to 4.31 mm, indicating that suboptimal heat distribution can worsen material deformation. These findings confirm that TTF heating temperature significantly affects the toughness and distortion of Aluminum 5083, with 100°C being the optimal condition to minimize distortion.
