Investigation on Joint Strength of Dissimilar Resistance Spot Welds of Aluminum Alloy and Low Carbon Steel
Abstract:
Resistance spot welding was used to join low carbon steel and A5250 Aluminum alloy sheets. Mechanical properties and failure behavior of the spot welds in terms of peak load, failure energy and failure mode, were evaluated using tensile- shear test. Relationship between welding current and mechanical properties was investigated. It was found that the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds in the weld fusion zone is the key governing factor for mechanical properties of dissimilar Al alloy/low carbon steel resistance spot weld. Increasing welding current, increases both peak load and energy absorption due to increasing overall bond area and transition in failure mode from interfacial to pullout failure mode.
