Abstract: Along with the development of automobile industry for lightweight vehicles, more and more advanced and ultrahigh strength steels (e.g., hot stamping steel) have been used for automotive applications. Making use of the high ...

Abstract: In this study, cold metal transfer (CMT) plug welding of 1 mm thick Mg AZ31 to 1 mm thick hot-dipped galvanized mild steel (i.e., Q235) was studied. Welding tests were performed and the process variables optimized with Mg ...

Abstract: It was known that it is challenging to join lapped aluminum and bare steel with cold metal transfer (CMT) process because of the formation of significant brittle intermetallics. In this study, another attempt was made to ...
