An apparatus for balancing an aluminum drive shaft (30) uses a transition material (10) to attach steel counterweights (26) to the aluminum drive shaft (30). The transition material (10) is disposed between an outer surface (32) of the aluminum drive shaft (30) and an inner surface (12) of the steel counterweights (26). A resistance welding process is then applied to the aluminum drive shaft (30), the steel counterweights (26), and the transition material (10) to the outer surface (32) of the aluminum drive shaft (30). The transition material (10) has a first surface (12) adjacent to the aluminum drive shaft (30) and a second surface (14) adjacent to the steel counterweights (26), with the first surface (12) being aluminum and the second surface (14) being steel. In a method of balancing an aluminum drive shaft, a resistance welding process is applied to the aluminum drive shaft (30), the steel counterweights (26), and the transition material (10) to resistance weld the inner surface (34) of the steel counterweights (26) to the outer surface (32) of the aluminum drive shaft (30). <IMAGE> |
