MODERN METHODS OF WELDING ALUMINIUM ALLOYS TO STEELS (Review)

D.M. Kaleko

E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute, NASU, Kiev, Ukraine
 
 
Abstract
Modern methods of welding aluminium alloys to steel were analyzed. Techniques of minimizing the thickness of intermetallic interlayer in the joints were noted, which include heating of the joint metal below the steel melting temperature, accelerated cooling of the joint, and application of damping coatings or inserts.
 
Keywords: welding processes, aluminium alloys and steels, welded joints, intermetallic interlayer, technological techniques, heat input, hybrid welding, electron beam welding
