In the implemented equipment, joints of AISI 1045 steel and 2017-T6 aluminum shafts were made. The welded joints were metallurgically evaluated, emphasizing on the chemical composition at the weld interface. For microstructure characterization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) were used to measure the initial composition of the welded materials. The results obtained show an adequate joint between the base materials, denoting the usefulness of the equipment manufactured for the union of dissimilar materials.
