Experimental Study of Tensile Test in Resistance Spot Welding Process

Experimental Study of the Nugget Diameter Effect on Tensile-Shear Strength in AISI 1008 Spot Welding Specimens

The Spot welding is widely used for joining thin sheets in different industries; such as automotive industry. This method of welding is very easy to automate and maintain. In this study, the effect of nugget diameter on the tensile-shear strength of the spot welding joints was investigated. The specimens were manufactured from AISI 1008 HR sheets with 1.0 mm thickness. The eight different elect...

Welding challenges facing advanced automotive steels in resistance spot welding process: A review

Nowadays, the use of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) in body-in-white is one of the hot applied strategies which is followed by the most of the automakers. The study of weldability and weld challenges facing these steels in resistance spot welding process as the most widely used process in the assembly lines of the automotive industry is essential to use the outstanding mechanical respons...

Resistance Spot Welding: A Heat Transfer Study

A heat transfer study of resistance spot welding has been conducted both theoretically and experimentally. A numerical solution based on a finite difference formulation of the heat equation has been developed to predict temperature distributions as a function of both time and position during the welding process. The computer model also predicts the temperature distribution through the copper el...
