Abstract Dissimilar welding of aluminum (Al) alloy to steel has been a long-running scientific and technological problem mainly for the automotive industry. It would allow to achieve new designs of optimized vehicle structures combining strength, lightweight and energy absorption ability. However, the weld strength is limited because of a brittle intermetallic layer (IML) formed at the weld interface. In our previous study, we demonstrated a significant improvement in weld strength by the addition of Ni to aluminum alloy. However, the effect of Ni addition on the fracture properties of IML remains unexplored. Moreover, additional Ni should… More >
