Combination of mechanical properties of aluminium alloys such as durability, heat conductivity
and beneficial properties at low temperatures dictates its wide applications in air craft, transport, pressure vessel and marine industries [1,2]. Recent advances in automobile industries are more confined on light material applications because of challenges being imposed by fuel consumption and pollution act. Added advantage of being cheaper and easy availability of aluminium and its alloys compared to other non-ferrous materials becomes to stand as one of the unique materials in automobile and aircraft industries. Furthermore, this is one of the most abundantly available materials next to steel in the earth crust [3–10]. It is hardship to conceive any product without weld joints in light metals. Manufacturability is one of the open end scenarios in production and aluminium alloys are nothing to exception. The present investigation is based on two aluminium alloys AA2124 and AA7075 which are widely used in air craft industries [11]. Pin hole porosity formation, shrinkages, formations of blow holes, silicides, co-efficient of thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, dross forming tendency, high solidification temperature range and solubility of hydrogen in molten state offers challenge to adopt fusion based welding of aluminium alloys [12,13]. But few investigations have successfully reported that TIG can be adopted for fabricating aluminium alloys. Thus, here an attempt
