Abstract
This study examines how Al presence in magnesium alloys affects the bonding mechanism at the magnesium/steel interface in ultrasonic welding (USW). At the pure magnesium/steel interface, clustered oxides disrupt direct metal-to-metal contact, impairing bond integrity. In contrast, the AZ31B Mg alloy/steel interface demonstrated the continuous formation of nanoscale Fe–Al intermetallic compounds (IMCs), facilitating a cohesive and integrated bond. The difference in bonding mechanism enhanced the peak interfacial strength, which nearly doubled from 954 N to 1794 N. This finding unveiled the critical role of Al in Mg to react with Fe in promoting the formation of IMC, strengthening the interface in the USW of Mg/steel joints.
