Abstract:The weight reduction of vehicle body and parts become much more crucial to decrease CO2 emissions. The use of high-strength steels has increased within the scope of vehicle weight reduction studies. The corrosion resistance must be also ensured for automotive structural components. Therefore, zinc-coated high strength steels have been developed. Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) occurs during resistance spot welding (RSW) on zinc-coated high strength steels The liquid zinc from the coating penetrates along the … Show more
