On the interplay between intermetallic controlled growth and hot tearing susceptibility in Al-to-steel welding with additional interlayers

The brittle behaviour of Fe/Al intermetallic compounds formed during dissimilar Al-to-steel welding is a major drawback for the mechanical integrity of the joint, particularly for thick intermetallic layers. In order to improve the toughness of the weld, the control of the thickness and the nature o...
