  ABSTRACT: Models have been derived for assessment and computational analysis of the hardness of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in aluminum weldment. The general model; γ = 1.2714[(αβ/α + β)] was found to predict the HAZ hardness of aluminum weldment cooled in water as a function of the HAZ hardness of both mild steel and cast iron welded and cooled under the same conditions. The maximum deviations of the model-predicted HAZ hardness values γ, α and β from the corresponding experimental values γexp, αexp and βexp were less than 0.02% respectively.
