<p>This study investigates the feasibility of simultaneously joining and forging dissimilar aluminum alloys using electrically assisted pressure joining and forging (EAPJ-forging). The aim is to join dissimilar AA6061 and AA7075 alloys with distinct material properties and create a final product with a designed configuration at the interface in a unified process. Employing electric current and compressive displacement, along with proper design of electrodes, the EAPJ-forging process compresses the materials at elevated temperatures, facilitating diffusion joining and filling the electrode cavity to achieve the target geometry. As a result, the target geometry is successfully achieved by forging, while a sound solid-state joint was formed at the interfaces of the joined dissimilar aluminum alloys. The energy dispersive spectrometer line scan results revealed atomic diffusion at the interface. The microstructural analysis provided insight into grain structure evolution during EAPJ-forging, characterized by recrystallization at the AA6061 joining interface and limited recovery in the AA7075 region. Hardness measurements indicated consistent hardness distribution across the AA7075 region, while the AA6061 region exhibited a gradual decrease toward the joint interface, attributed to partial over-aging and recrystallization-induced softening. Furthermore, the cantilever beam test confirms successful joint formation. The results of this study confirmed the applicability of EAPJ-forging in the manufacture of lightweight structural components composed of dissimilar materials.</p>
