Pretty cool. How big is the market for welding stainless to aluminum? Is there a need in automotive?
Those are some pretty fast weld speeds.

...capable of withstanding separation stress of up to 17404.5 pounds per square inch on average...17.4 ksi is less stress than steel and aluminum alloys can typically take on their own (yes, I know some aluminums are less). So, you make an alloy that is weaker than the individual components.

Could this be used to 3D print something like, oh I don’t know, maybe a gun barrel or receiver or something like that? Asking for a friend.

Other lightweight high strength metals; alloy of Aluminum and Scandium is light and weldable and is less prone to corrosion than aluminum. Titanium is strong and not subject to corrosion. Niobium Steel alloy.

I bet they are going to run into galvanic corrosion issues.
Even Carbon Fiber pannels connected to Aluminum can cause corrosion.
