Tests of Selected Mechanical Properties of Welded Joints in Rotorcraft

Abstract The following article presents experimental use of different ways of inguinal connecting of aircraft elements using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MAG (Metal Active Gas) and arched coated electrode. The object of the research were samples of rotorcraft elements, which were connected to each other by TIG, MAG methods and the coated electrode. The main aim of the research was to determine selected mechanical properties in particular hardness and strength of inguinal joints and then, based on the tests carried out, the best methods were selected.
