“…In a study by Senff et al, steel/aluminum shear tensile specimens were machined with friction stir welding (FSW) in the area of the compound zone after the high pressure die-casting process. The FSW increased the strength of the joint from 15 MPa (without FSW) to around 40 MPa (with FSW on both sides) of the joint [14]. The FSW process could increase the strength of steel/aluminum joints from sand casting.…”

Compound casting is a process in which a single component is made from two metallic materials, such as aluminum and steel. Solid-liquid bimetallic compounds can be produced by suitable process control. This technology can reduce the number of joining processes, and the specific properties of the respective metal component can be used for specifically designed product properties, for example, where lightweight and high strength are needed. This paper presents an experimental methodology for producing a purely material-bonded bimetallic joint from cast aluminum and zinc-coated sheet steel in 3D sand casting using an inductive heating system. The process-related temperature characterisation in the compound zone is described using a heating test rig and temperature measurements. It shows that inductive preheating can only produce a material bond between the aluminum casting and the coated steel sheet. Shear tensile tests showed strengths between 15 MPa and 22 MPa. Laser surface pre-treatment using laser ablation cutting on the coated steel sheet was carried out to investigate the benefit of possible microform-locking. The results show a strength-reducing influence on the tensile shear tests. Micrographs showed the formation of Al4.5FeSi and Al7Fe2Si, as well as the formation of other undefined intermetallic phases. The thickness of the compound zone is 10 µm.

“…The study modified a pneumatic machine holder to hold the tool, which was replaced by a chuck base arrangement [100]. Senff and Volk [101] proposed a combination of compound casting and an FSW setup for the bimetal joining of aluminum and steel specimens. According to the findings of the study, if steel specimens are placed in the pressure die casting process and the resulting specimens are then subjected to the FSW technique at the boundary of the AL and steel material, the joining strength can be attained as required.…”
