Abstract
Technology for welding of steel studs to aluminum sheets and structure of stud being welded were developed considering economic and environmental appropriateness of replacement of steel structures by aluminum alloys in transport machine-building and construction and related with this necessity in steel fasteners providing required loading. It is shown that application for this of a heat barrier in a form of evaporated zinc coating at end face of the stud reduces possibility of formation of brittle intermetallic compounds in a transfer layer between steel stud and aluminum sheet, and increased surface of welding provides for uniform strength of joint with steel stud. 10 Ref., 6 Figures.
