Effect of specimen configuration on fatigue properties of dissimilar aluminum to steel resistance spot welds
Abstract
General Motors (GM) has developed a proprietary resistance spot welding process using a Multi-Ring, Domed (MRD) electrode geometry that is capable of producing welds between aluminum alloys and steel materials with acceptable joint strength. This work presents fatigue properties of resistance spot welds (RSWs) produced between dissimilar 1.2-mm thick wrought aluminum AA6022-T4 and 2.0-mm thick IF steel RSWs in tensile-shear and coach-peel …
