Abstract:The brittle intermetallic compound (IMC), -Al 3 Mg 2 , grows very rapidly at the interface during dissimilar welding of Al to Mg. This currently prevents acceptable joints being produced between these two important light alloys. In the present study, the use of Al-alloy inter-layer coatings has been investigated to address this problem, for application to friction welding processes. Thermodynamic principles were employed to aid design of the coatings. Two types of coatings were selected: i) a Si-rich coating,… Show more
