Abstract

A scientific and technical literature review in the field of welding of aluminum alloys reinforced with refractory particles of silicon carbide is presented. Structural changes after laser welding, the causes of various kinds of defects and ways to improve the weldability of the material are described. The results of testing the mechanical properties of welded joints are presented.
