Abstract:Recently, lightweight vehicle bodies are in increasing demand to satisfy exhaust gas and environmental regulations around the world. In particular, aluminum alloys are widely used to manufacture lightweight parts, because of their excellent properties including corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. After the forming process, the welding process is important for manufacturing aluminum alloy parts. Resistance welding of aluminum alloys has several problems, due to internal weld defects such as cracks, … Show more
