This research deals with the choice of the suitable filler metal to weld the similar and dissimilar metals (Low carbon steel type A516 & Austenitic stainless steel type 316L) under constant conditions such as, plate thickness (6 mm), voltage (78 v), current (120 A), straight polarity. This research deals with three major parts. The first parts Four types of electrodes were used for welding of dissimilar metals (C.St A516 And St.St 316L) two from mild steel (E7018, E6013) and other two from austenitic stainless steel (E309L, E308L) various inspection were carried out include (Visual T., X-ray T., δ- Ferrite phase T., and Microstructures T.) and mechanical testing include (tensile T., bending T. and micro hardness T.) The second parts done by used the same parameters to welding similar metals from (C.St A516) Or (St.St 316L). The third parts deals with welding of dissimilar weldments (C.St And St.St) by two processes, gas tungsten are welding (GTAW) and shielded metal are welding (SMAW).        The results indicated that the spread of carbon from low carbon steel to the welding zone in the case of welding stainless steel elect pole (E309L) led to Configuration Carbides and then high hardness the link to high values ​​compared with the base metal. In most similar weldments showed hardness of the welding area is  higher than the hardness of the base metal. The electrode (E309L) is the most suitable to welding dissimilar metals from (C.St A516 With St.St 316L). The results also showed that the method of welding (GTAW) were better than the method of welding (SMAW) in dissimilar welded joints (St.St 316L with C.St A516) in terms of irregular shape and integrity of the welding defects, as well as characterized this weldments the high-lift and resistance ductility good when using the welding conditions are similar.

Nowadays, welding of dissimilar metals has become significant. In this process, a number of parameters including but not limited to type of electrode, amount of current, preheating temperature, and welding rate, that are essential to be taken into account. For welding of dissimilar metals, various methods are exploited including shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The stimulus for studying welding of 304L stainless steel to pure copper originates from difficulties in joining copper parts of           water-circulating molds to their steel part. In this study, the welding is performed on plates of steel and copper using SMAW, GTAW and combined SMAW+GTAW welding methods with    EL-CuMn2, ENiCrMo-6 and ER70S-4 electrodes. In order to investigate the microstructure and corrosion resistance behavior of welds, the samples were characterized using microstructural study and polarization test. It was observed that among all four welding methods, only combined SMAW+GTAW welding process resulted in successful joint between 304L stainless steel and copper. Both obtained joints possess suitable microstructure and corrosion resistance.

Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) which is one of the impact welding methods is suitable for a wide variety of combinations of similar and dissimilar metals. The flyer plate is accelerated by electromagnetic force and collided to the parent plate. A characteristic wavy interface is formed. The impact velocity and impact angle of the flyer plate during impact are important parameters which affect the interface morphology. In the case of dissimilar metals (e.g. Al/Cu, Al/Fe), the intermediate layer (such as intermetallic compound (IMC)) is formed by wavy interface formation and local temperature increase. The intermediate layer often decreases the bonding strength. Wavy interface formation mechanism and temperature increase at the joint interface should be investigated in order to obtain the dissimilar metal joint with high bonding strength. In this study, the impact velocity and impact angle of the flyer plate were obtained by using ANSYS Emag-Mechanical. Based on the obtained impact velocity and impact angle of the flyer plate in the MPW, the wavy interface formation and temperature change were reproduced by using ANSYS Autodyn for solving non-liner dynamics problems. Al sheets and Cu sheets were joined by the MPW. The joint interface was observed by OM and SEM and compared to the simulation result.

Abstract There are several possibilities for establishing a cohesion joint between dissimilar metals. In the case of thin sheets, the ultrasonic welding process is suitable. This process can establish a cohesion joint rapidly, with a low heat input between the thin sheets. The authors have tried to determine the optimal ultrasonic welding parameters for copper and austenite stainless steel joining by using an experimental method of joining. Suitable results were obtained by welding tests due dissimilarities in the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the copper and stainless steel. A standard size sheet thickness and test sample was used for the welding by different parameters. The parameters were refined based on the theoretical and practical knowledge during the experiments. The experimental welding was made by a Branson L20 type welder machine. The joint made by the different parameters was inspected by shearing-tensile tests (maximal force level).
