Investigation of Corrosion Resistance of Cold Metal Transfer Welded AA7075 Aluminum Alloy Galvanized Steel Couples
Abstract
Corrosion is the degradation of the metal as a result of chemical reactions with its surroundings. However, corrosion can be predicted, in some cases significantly slowed down or prevented. In this study, the effect of galvanic corrosion formation on the tensile strength of AA7075-galvanized steel joints produced by cold metal transfer welding, which is one of the manufacturing methods used in forming many constructions, was investigated. The aluminum and steel pair are difficult to combine with other welding methods. Joining is provided by this method. Corrosion in this joining was investigated in this article. As a result, increased heat input during welding adversely affected galvanic corrosion and increased material dissolution.
