Abstract

A method of resistance spot welding a stacked assembly of dissimilar workpieces. The stack assembly includes a first workpiece formed of a first alloy, a second workpiece formed of a second alloy, and a third workpiece formed of a third alloy sandwiched between the first workpiece and the second workpiece. The third alloy includes a lower resistivity than the first alloy and a lower resistivity than the second alloy. A faying interface is defined by a portion of the first workpiece in direct contact with a portion of the second workpiece through the third workpiece. A weld nugget, a braze, or a combination of a weld nugget and a braze joins the first workpiece to the second workpiece at the faying interface. An annular ring of re-solidified molten pool of third alloy surrounds the faying interface and a region of re-solidified partially melted third alloy surrounding the annular ring.
