When performing dissimilar joints on sheets many problems appear, having implications on their quality and the possibility to appear stresses and strains.After presenting shortly the problems specific to dissimilar joints and the possible joining techniques, with direct applicability on different base materials, the paper insists on the case study related to the CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) joining.Advantages when applying CMT are also evidenced, insisting on the technological side, but also on the environment protection.The experimental program consisting of destructive testing is also presented, together with the microscopic aspect of the joints obtained by the CMT process.
