Numerical analysis on coaxial one-side resistance spot welding of Al5052 and CFRP dissimilar materials

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a prospective lightweight material in automobile industry. However, joining metal and CFRP is a great challenge. In the present study, an innovative process called coaxial one-side resistance spot welding (COS-RSW) is proposed to fabricate Al5052 (Al) and CF...
