“…The primary challenges in producing dissimilar weld joints of Al alloys and steel arise due to the difference in thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and solid solubility, large variance in melting points chemical composition etc. [6][7][8][9].The dissimilar weld joints contribute many advantages such as low manufacturing cost, reduction of processing steps, production of controlled low weight to high strength ratio objects, high fuel efficiency etc. [10][11][12] They also have few disadvantages such as formation of brittle intermetallic phases, precipitates, welding defects etc.…”
