The invention belongs to the technical field of lightweight of automobiles, and relates to a welding process for a lightweight aluminum alloy automotive roof. The welding process of the lightweight aluminum alloy automotive roof comprises the steps that an air duct support of the automotive roof is integrally formed through extrusion by an extrusion die, and the air duct support integrally formedthrough extrusion is cut at equal intervals; a corner weld structure is formed between an automotive crossbeam and a bent plate; after the two sides of a weld are polished, the automotive crossbeam and the bent plate are welded, wherein the welding current is 155-165 A, the voltage is 21.2-22.5 V, and the welding speed is 9-11 mm / s; and a butt weld structure is formed between the air duct supportand the automotive crossbeam, the bevel angle is 55 degrees, and after the two sides of a weld are polished, the air duct support and the automotive crossbeam are welded, wherein the welding current is 155-165 A, the voltage is 21.2-22.5 V, and the welding speed is 12-14 mm. By adoption of the welding process of the lightweight aluminum alloy automotive roof, the problems that in the machining process of the automotive roof, the welding workload is large, and operation is complex are solved.
