Fatigue Behavior of Dissimilar Aluminum Alloy Spot Welds
Abstract
With the broader utilization of a variety of aluminum alloys in the automotive industry for structural lightweight applications, the need for resistance spot welding (RSW) of dissimilar aluminum alloys is increasing. General Motors (GM) has developed a proprietary RSW process using a multi-ring, domed electrode geometry that significantly improves the performance of the aluminum resistance spot welds. In addition, to enhance structural …
