Improved Mechanical Properties of SUS304/AA5083 Dissimilar Joint by Laser Ablation Pretreatment in Vortex- Friction Stir Lap Welding

To obtain a high-quality Al/steel dissimilar joint, a micro-groove-assisted vortex-friction stir lap welding (MG-VFSLW) process was developed. Through prefabricating micro-grooves on the steel plate surface by laser ablation, high-quality mechanical interlock and metallurgical bonding were obtained...
