Comparison of different spot welding processes for joining LPBF-processed AlSi10Mg with wrought AA6061-T6

Description

Research and development in the field of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of
metals give rise to many applications in aviation and automotive industries to
optimise productivity as well as the weight of components such as brackets.
Spot welding processes are very well suitable for joining those components
with structural parts due to the good mechanical performance, weight
reduction and economical advantages. This study compares the integrity and
quasi-static mechanical performance of LPBF-processed AlSi10Mg to wrought
AA6061-T6 joints produced by different processes. The novel refill friction stir
spot welding (RFSSW) process was compared against the established
resistance spot welding (RSW) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW)
technologies
