Abstract:The lightweight construction of automotive car bodies is more and more important to reduce the fuel consumption and costs. It can be reached by use of high strength steels and aluminium alloy base materials. Recent car bodies contain both steel and aluminium alloys, therefore necessary to make reliable joints between them. Several joining methods were investigated like mechanical joining and welding. These joints typically were tested by quasi-static testing methods, rarely high cycle fatigue (HCF) test… Show more
