Abstract
The serious problem encountered in the process of producing 2-piece fabricated automotive aluminum disc wheel, in which a forged disc is welded into a flash butt welded rim, lies in the development of cracks on the weld in the roll forming process.
This problem was solved by grasping the most optimum flash butt welding variable of 5454 alloy stock (Al-2.7%Mg-0.7%Mn alloy) used for forming rims.
