Welding of dissimilar magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys is challenging due to the formation of interlayers composed of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the bonding interface, which reduces the bonding strength. In our studies, we applied explosive welding to facilitate dissimilar welding of magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys. This method utilized a high-speed impact from an explosive to bond magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys in a short time, effectively suppressing the formation of the interlayer. Our research confirmed the presence of a thin interlayer of the γ-Mg
