Abstract:

In this paper, the method of resistance spot welding with cover plate was proposed to weld the materials combination of the metal with high resistance and the metal with low resistance, such as steel/aluminum, titanium/aluminum, titanium/magnesium, and steel/magnesium; and the technique of resistance spot welding with insert sheet was proposed to weld dissimilar materials with low resistance and to weld dissimilar materials with high resistance.
