Effect of Liquid Metal Embrittlement Indent Cracks on Zinc Coated 3rd Generation AHSS Mechanical Performance

Third-generation advanced high-strength steels (3G-AHSS) are typically galvanized to prevent corrosion of the outer body structure. However, the zinc coating on the surface, combined with the locally elevated temperatures generated during the resistance spot welding (RSW) process, can provide the pr...
