Friction Welding Characteristics of Al-Mg Aluminum Alloy (A5056) and Carbon Steel (S45C)

Influence of intermetallic phases and Kirkendall-porosity on the mechanical properties of joints between steel and aluminium alloys

“…The influence of intermetallic phases at the interface between steel and Al alloys on the mechanical properties of joints has been investigated for both solid state processes [27][28][29] and 'solid/liquid' joining procedures, where the Al base material is molten (welded) and the Fe or steel side of the joint remains solid (brazed) [30][31][32]. Achar et al [30] studied the tensile strength of arc-welded 0921-5093/$ -see front matter © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.…”

Influence of Filler Composition on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Steel—Aluminum Joints Produced by Metal Arc Joining

“…Based on this concept, techniques like friction welding, diffusion welding, explosion welding, and the recently developed friction stir welding have been used to produce hybrid steel-aluminum joints. [7,[17][18][19][20][21] Although fusion welding techniques were formerly unsuccessful in preventing the embrittlement caused by extensive IMP formation at the dissimilar interface between aluminum and steel, recent methods like laser welding and electron beam welding have been able to limit the IMP formation by reducing the heat input. [19,[22][23][24][25][26] However, drawbacks like high investment costs, reduced sheet thickness range, and the possibility to weld only linear joints limit their application.…”

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of an AA6181‐T4 Aluminium Alloy to HC340LA High Strength Steel Friction Stir Overlap Weld

“…[5][6][7][8] Another option to limit the heat input into the joint is the use of pressure welding techniques. [2,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Solid state welding processes naturally avoid solidification and, thus, have particular advantages for joining dissimilar materials with very different melting intervals or materials prone to hot cracking. [16,17] Among pressure welding methods, friction welding has gained increasing application within the last years which is mostly a result of the development of the friction stir welding (FSW) technique.…”
