Abstract
This study aims to investigate the weldability of 1050 aluminum alloy (AA1050) and galvanized 1314 steel by the cold metal transfer (CMT) procedur, comparing it with respective welding of similar aluminum sheets. Mechanical properties of welded specimens were determined by tensile testing and hardness measurements. The study was completed by microstructural analysis. The results showed that CMT welding can be applied successfully to join aluminum and steel.
