The invention discloses an intermediate layer for resistance
spot welding of aluminum / steel dissimilar metals and a resistance
spot welding method, the intermediate layer is a FeMnCuNi medium-entropy
alloy, and the intermediate layer comprises the following components by atomic percent: 20-30% of Fe, 20-30% of Cu, 5-10% of Ni, 5-10% of Ni, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. 20%-30% of Mn; 20%-30% of Cu; the sum of the atomic percentages of all the components is 100%. The method comprises the steps that (1) the aluminum
alloy plate and the steel plate serve as
welding base materials to be assembled in a
lap joint mode, and the middle layer is added to the
lap joint area; and (2) through resistance
spot welding, a part of the middle layer and the
base metal are melted through resistance heat at the
lap joint interface, high entropy of nuggets is achieved through
atomic diffusion and the high entropy effect, a
welding joint with a
solid solution as the main part is formed, and the aluminum / steel
dissimilar metal composite structure is obtained. Compared with an existing aluminum / steel resistance spot
welding technology, high entropy of nuggets is achieved by applying the high entropy effect, generation of brittle-hard phase
intermetallic compounds in a
welding joint is remarkably reduced, and a high-performance aluminum-steel
composite structure is easily obtained.
