Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and aluminium (Al) alloys have been lap welded using an electromagnetic impact welding technique. Metallographic examination of the welds has revealed sound and defect free interfaces. Complete metal continuity has been observed with a characteristic wavy interface. X-ray diffraction analysis has shown no intermetallic phases and suggested that this electromagnetic technique is a solid state welding process. All the shear strength samples welded with discharge energy of 6.7 kJ failed away from weld either in the plastically deformed zone or in the base metal. Optimum discharge energy has been determined as 6.7 kJ based on the shear strength results of the welds.Keywords
