Abstract: The continuous advancement of lightweight resources for the application in the automotive industry is due to the lower absolute strength of aluminum alloys. From these alloys, several components are produced by casting, stamping, forging and extrusion manufacturing processes. General technique for joining the steel sheets is Resistance spot welding. When compared to other fusing based welding technologies FSSW has some advantages that are high tolerance to poor part fit-up, ease of maintenance and low capital cost. Present review explains briefly about mechanical properties and microstructure between aluminum alloys and other materials like steel, magnesium, and copper.
Keywords: Welding Dissimilar Aluminium Spot Steel Maintenance.
Scope of the Article: Welding Technology
