This paper investigates the physical reasons for apparently poor conductivity of galvanized steel plates (GSP), which has not yet received a proper explanation. Apparent conductivities as low 0.1 MS/m were reported in past, are incongruously compared to DC steels (4 8 MS/m), or zinc (16.7 most common coating agent used against corrosion products. A comprehensive review results from metallurgy a...

The galvanized steel sheet has been used widely in various fields. However, zinc, which a low melting temperature, evaporates and penetrates into the joint during conventional welding process, thus temperature process is required. Linear Friction Welding (LFW) solid-state joining uses friction heat generated at interface when materials are butted together. Recent studies reported that lower hig...
