TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Dependence of overload performance on weld attributes for resistance spot welded galvanized low carbon steel

TL;DR: In this article, microstructure and failure behavior of galvanized low carbon steel resistance spot welds were investigated, and failure mechanism of spot weld which fail via pullout mode during tensile-shear test was localized necking in the base metal.

The Mechanisms of Resistance Spot Welding of Magnesium to Steel

TL;DR: In this article, a novel technology has been developed for the resistance spot welding (RSW) of magnesium to steel producing joint strength as high as 95 pct of that of Mg to a Mg joint.

A review on resistance spot welding of magnesium alloys

TL;DR: In this article, a review on resistance spot welding of magnesium alloys is presented, with emphasis on the relationship between microstructure, properties, and performance, under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions.

Electrical contact resistance effect on resistance spot welding

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of local electrical contact resistance on transport variables, cooling rate, solute distribution, and nugget shape after solidification responsible for microstructure of the fusion zone during resistance spot welding are realistically and systematically investigated.

Magnesium: Properties — applications — potential

TL;DR: Magnesium is the lightest of all metals used as the basis for constructional alloys and it is this property which entices automobile manufacturers to replace denser materials, not only steels, cast irons and copper base alloys but even aluminium alloys by magnesium based alloys as discussed by the authors.

Effects of precipitate shape and orientation on dispersion strengthening in magnesium alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the Orowan equation for magnesium alloys strengthened by rationally-oriented, shear-resistant precipitate plates/rods was developed and compared with identical volume fractions and number densities of precipitates per unit volume.

Review of resistance spot welding of steel sheets Part 1 Modelling and control of weld nugget formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of welding machine characteristics relative to weld growth is highlighted, particularly the effect of electrode diameter and the rigidity of the machine coupled with the weight and frictional effects developed in the electrode head assembly are shown to be important factors influencing weld growth.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of gas tungsten arc welded magnesium AZ91D plates

TL;DR: In this article, gas tungsten arc (GTA) welds were performed on 4-mm thick plates, machined from as-cast magnesium AZ91D ingots, and the microstructure and defect formation was investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy.
