A method for automatic welding of a structural steel assembly includes workpieces such as profiles and/or a sheet material. The method includs using an automated process to receive information from a CAD-CAM program about welds for welding the structural steel assembly, and to post-process the information received from the CAD-CAM program. The information of each single weld received from the CAD-CAM program includes data about e.g a type of a workpiece or of workpieces of the structural steel assembly which bound the weld, a weld type, a position of the respective weld relative to the workpieces of the structural steel assembly that bound the weld, a shape of the weld, a length of the weld, a path of the weld and a width of the weld. The post-processing includes splitting each weld in sections of which the individual welding parameters are predefined.

A method for joining a plated steel sheet includes forming a plurality of protrusions, overlapping a first steel sheet, and performing arc welding, by which first and second steel sheets, at least one of which is a plated steel sheet, are arc welded. In the forming, the plurality of protrusions that is substantially perpendicular to an edge portion of the first steel sheet and is positioned along the edge portion is formed in an overlapping surface of the first steel sheet. In the overlapping, the first and second steel sheets are overlapped such that the protrusions protrude in a direction toward an overlapping surface of the second steel sheet. In the performing the arc welding, an arc welding is performed linearly in the edge portion of the first steel sheet or second steel sheet.

Welded assemblies and related methods of making the welded assemblies include a first component of a first metal material, a second component of a second metal material that is different from the first metal material, and a transition material including one or more of a high entropy alloy, a pure element, and an alloy that is not a high entropy alloy, and that is arranged between and contacting the first component and the second component. An ultrasonic weld joins the transition material to the first component, and a fusion weld joins the first component to the second component. The fusion weld contact the first component, the second component, and the transition material. The amount or level of one or more of galvanic corrosion, intermetallic compounds, and solidification cracking in the fusion weld is less than if the first component was fusion welded directly to the second component.

A welded assembly includes a first object, a second object, and an interlayer. The interlayer is an ESD coating deposited on the first object, and the second object is welded to the coating. The second object may be a material that has thermally sensitive properties, such as a shape-memory material. The second weld may also be made by ESD. The interlayer may be made of more than one layer. The layer or layers may be deposited of a material chosen for its compatibility with one, the other, or both of the material of the first object and the material of the second object.
