Title

I changed the title of this article but I see I've now made it inconsistent with several other "Aluminium alloy" articles. I'd prefer to have them all starting with "Aluminium alloy" but others may disagree. Please discuss. Biscuittin (talk) 15:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Support. I think you are right, it should say "aluminium alloy", because that's more accurate than just "aluminium". The only thing I'm not sure about is moving the number to the back. Most printed references I've seen put the number first (see http://books.google.com/books?q=6061+aluminum+OR+aluminium&lr=&sa=N&start=0) --Wizard191 (talk) 18:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I've changed the title of this article. I'll wait a few days to see if there are any more comments before adding "alloy" to the other articles. Biscuittin (talk) 19:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good! --Wizard191 (talk) 19:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Welding

So I know it can not be traditionally welding, but does anyone know if it can be friction-stir welded? Maybe this should be mentioned here if it is. 67.43.241.93 (talk) 17:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've seen other alloys which aren't TIG weldable which are friction-stir welded now, including 7075, but I haven't seen a specific mention of 2024. However, I can't state that it isn't or can't be, only that I haven't heard of it being used. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 00:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

What about electron beam welding? I would imagine if it can be friction welded, you could e-beam weld it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thaddeusw (talk • contribs) 13:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
