Abstract

To avoid typical problems when connecting different metallic materials as aluminum and titanium as e.g. the formation of intermetallic phases, electromagnetic welding represents an alternative technology to conventional (i.e. usually thermal) joining processes. Although feasibility and potential of this technique are already proved, the fundamental correlations of part- and process-parameters have not yet been investigated systematically. As an approach to examine these, the performance of model experiments and supplementary technological tests is suggested. The resulting connection quality is evaluated using metallographic methods.
