Advanced process developments in steel production driven by competition from lighter materials, specifically aluminium, means that modern manufacturing has its widest ever choice of metal to metal combinations to work with.
Engineers almost have a ‘pick and mix’ pallet in front of them hence the logical combination of different metal types in the assembly process, providing that consequential fixing issues don’t outweigh the benefits to the finished assembly…
