The primary issue with joining an immiscible magnesium/iron system is the lack of a bonding medium. This research used an aluminium (Al) additive as a bonding medium to facilitate the formation of an interface layer. Immiscible AZ31 magnesium alloy and SPHC low-carbon steel were successfully joined...
