In this paper, seaming and seamless as well as short and long cylindrical shell buckling of aluminum 6063 which is under axial loading is taken into account. The used parts have equal mass and thickness and the seam is filled with argon method. An experimental test has been done bySANTAM-STM-250 device. Numerical analysis has been conducted by Abaqus Software, and precision of these models is measured by experimental results.
