Joined body of different materials of steel material and aluminum material and method for joining the same

TLDR
In this paper, the problem of providing a joined body of a steel material and an aluminum material which is formed by spot welding and has a high joining strength, and also to provide a method for spot welding the same is solved.
Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joined body of a steel material and an aluminum material which is formed by spot welding and has a high joining strength, and also to provide a method for spot welding the same. SOLUTION: The joined body 3 of different materials is formed of the steel material 1 and the aluminum material 2 joined to the steel material through spot welding. The steel material 1 contains 0.1-3.0 wt.% Mn and has a sheet thickness t 1 of 0.3-2.5 mm. The aluminum material 2 contains 0.4-2 wt.% Si and has a sheet thickness t 2 of 0.5-2.5 mm. A plating film 4 made of Zn and/or Al having a film thickness of 3-15 μm and a melting point of 350-950°C is preliminarily formed on a surface of the steel material 1 or the aluminum material 2. A nugget diameter in the spot welding is within a range of 4×t 2 0.5 to 7×t 2 0.5 in relation to the sheet thickness t 2 . COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
