“…Successful research on the joining of Mg with Al as well as the fabrication of Mg-Al compound parts is expected to further increase the application of these materials in lightweight structures. Different methods have been used to join these two types of materials, for instance, MIG welding [1], laser welding [2], friction stir welding [3], diffusion bonding [4,5], hot rolling [6,7], explosive cladding [8], twin-roll casting [9].…”
