Enhanced Long-Term Reliability of Seal DeltaSpot Welded Dissimilar Joint between 6061 Aluminum Alloy and Galvannealed Steel via Excimer Laser Irradiation
Structural-adhesive-assisted DeltaSpot welding was used to improve the weldability and mechanical properties of dissimilar joints between 6061 aluminum alloy and galvannealed HSLA steel. Evaluation of the spot-weld-bonded surfaces from lap shear tests after long-term exposure to chloride and a humid...
