 Aluminum alloys are suitable materials for light weight buildings due to their low density, but they require specific knowledge due to their other physical and technological qualities. The publication demonstrates how to overcome these obstacles by using proper material preparation and handling in conjunction with specialist aluminium welding equipment....

To join DP1000 steel and an aluminium alloy 1050 H111, a pulsed Nd: YAG laser was used to weld dissimilar metals. Since butt welding was nearly impossible due to the large thermal conductivity and melting temperature variations of these materials, two sheets of each metal with 30 14 1...
