The paper concerns the issue of the impact of welding defects on the strength of EN AW 5754 aluminium alloy welded joints, executed with the TIG welding method (tungsten inert gas, i.e., a method of welding with a non-consumable tungsten electrode shielded with inert gases). The article presents examples of operating damage to welded joints and discusses the factors impacting the weld quality. The strength test results of welding samples taken under different process parameters were presented. The impact of welding defects and non-conformities identified with a CAT test on the weld joint impact was analysed. The studies showed a strong relation between the presence of welding defects, welding process parameters and weld strength.
