Exploration of bonding phenomenon and microstructural characterization during high-power ultrasonic spot welding of aluminum to steel sheets with copper interlayer

Lightweighting of automotive body structures involves the ultrasonic spot welding (USW) of dissimilar sheets because of its low energy consumption in comparison to the traditional fusion welding process. In this study, AA3003 aluminum alloy to AISI 304 stainless steel with a copper interlayer was jo...
