Dissimilar material joining between magnesium (AZ31B) alloy and dual-phase steel (DP600) was achieved using the friction stir welding (FSW) process. The present work aimed at studying effect of tool rotational speed on microstructure mechanical properties dissimilar joints. joints were fabricated speeds 800 1600 rpm with weld 50, 100, 150 mm/min, respectively. plunge depth 0.2 mm tilt angle 2° ...

It is important to consider variations in material parameters in the design of automotive structures in order to obtain a robust and reliable design. However, expensive tests are required to gain complete knowledge of the material behavior and its associated variation. Consequently, due to time and cost constraints, simplifiedmaterial scatter modeling techniques based on scatter data of typical...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) as a predominant welding technique used for joining steels in automotive applications needs to be studied carefully in order to improve the mechanical properties of the spot welds. The objectives of the present work are to characterize the resistance spot weldment of DP600 sheet steels. The mechanical properties of the welded joints were evaluated using tensile-she...
