Abstract
Ultrasonic spot welding (USW) is a solid joining technique widely known for the joining of metals and composite materials. However, joining dissimilar metals using USW introduces voids, swirl-like structures, and poor intermetallic compounds around weld interfaces. This paper examines the current state of USW for joining dissimilar metals and composite materials. Several critical issues were also discovered including technique, defect, stress distribution, and macrostructure. This review summarized the understanding of the fundamental phenomena involved in weld formation during USW of dissimilar material. Finally, the way forward in the field of spot welding is also presented.
