Effect of adhesive on fatigue property of Aural2 to AA5754 dissimilar aluminum alloy resistance spot welds
Abstract
General Motors (GM) has developed a proprietary resistance spot welding (RSW) process using a multi-ring, domed electrode geometry that has been used successfully in automotive aluminum welding operations. To enhance structural performance, one-part epoxy adhesives are frequently applied prior to RSW to create weld-bonded joints. The addition of adhesive can result in additional porosity created within the weld nugget. Therefore, the adhesive's …
