Investigation of Liquid Metal Embrittlement during Resistance Spot Welding of Martensitic Steel with Zn Jet Vapor-Deposited Coating

Advanced high-strength steels protected by zinc coatings have contributed to a reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in the automotive industry. However, the liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of the Fe/Zn couple induced by simultaneously acting stresses and high temperatures during resist...
