Direct welding of coated steels to aluminum alloys is challenging due to high energy requirements, decreased weldability, and unstable weld quality. The present study reports the application of a new design approach in vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW), where an asymmetric preform shape on the target sheet generated the requisite standoff, enabling direct spot welding of a typical automotive aluminum alloy (6022 T4) and two different zinc-coated steels, galvanized high-strength low-alloy 350 and galvannealed dual-phase 590. The use of the new approach enabled for the first time the ability to spot weld through coating without any preweld surface preparation. Characterization using lap-shear and peel testing revealed strong joints for both the weld pairs (AA 6022 T4-HSLA 350 and AA 6022 T4-DP 590). The weld interface characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a hierarchical structure and the presence of a typical wavy region.
