Peculiar roles of nickel diffusion in intermetallic compound formation at the dissimilar metal interface of magnesium to steel spot welds

There is an increased need to join magnesium alloys to high-strength steels to create multi-material lightweight body structures for fuel-efficient vehicles. Direct joining of these two metals is difficult, primarily because pure Mg and pure Fe are immiscible. Although a variety of interlayer materi...
