Effects of die- and punch-shaped electrode on formation of the intermetallic compound for Fe/Al resistance spot welding

Resistance spot welding has recently been proposed for joining steel and aluminum alloys to reduce the weight and increase the strength of automobile bodies. However, joining Fe and Al results in the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the joining interface. A thick IMC layer reduces the...
