Magnesium (Mg) alloys are considered for the next generation lightweight autobody structures which would improve the energy efficiency [1–7] . For the optimal balance of weight reduction and mechanical integrity, the lightweight materials, Mg and Al alloys as well as carbon-fiber reinforced composites can be used in conjunction with conventional steels for a multi-material autobody structure. Several joining techniques have been explored for the formation of reliable joints among the lightweight materials and steels [8–16] . Recently, a commercial Mg alloy (AZ31B) was joined to automotive dual-phase (DP) steels with and without Zn layer by ultrasonic spot welding (USW) and linear friction stir welding (FSW) as a part of Joining Core Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Vehicle Technology Office [ 12 , 13 , 17 ]. This research was funded by the U.S. Department Energy's Vehicle Technology Offices as a part of the Joining Core Program. The authors appreciate leadership, guidance, and technical support from ORNL technical reviewers, Rich Davies and John Wade at ORNL and Darrell Herling and Glenn Grant at PNNL.
