  ABSTRACT: The predictability of hardness of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in aluminum weldments cooled in palm oil, based on hardness of similarly cooled mild steel and cast iron weldments has been ascertained. The general model: α = 1.2769 indicates that HAZ hardness of aluminium weldment is dependant on the ratio of product to sum of HAZ hardness of mild steel and cast iron weldments cooled in palm oil under the same conditions. The maximum deviations of the model-predicted HAZ hardness values α, μ and β from the corresponding experimental values αexp, μexp and βexp were less than 0.04% indicating the reliability and validity of the model.
