Abstract
Dissimilar metal joints tend to fracture along the welded interface during tensile testing , particularly in butt joint configuration. A common explanation relates formation of brittle intermetallic compound layer at dissimilar weld interface to crack initiation and propagation. This typically leads to lower strength and ductility of the dissimilar material joint. However, another critical aspect determining strength and fracture behavior of dissimilar material joints is the existence of stress concentration at the welded interface during mechanical loading. Mismatch of elastic modulus of dissimilar materials creates stress concentration at the initial stage of mechanical loading, which facilitated crack initiation at the welded interface. In this overview, factors leading to stress concentration and their impact on dissimilar joint strength and fracture behavior have been highlighted.
