Nugget Formation during Resistance Spot Welding using Finite Element Model
Resistance spot welding process comprises of electric, thermal and mechanical phenomenon, which makes this process complex and highly non-linear and thus, it becomes difficult to model it. In order to obtain good weld nugget during spot welding, hit and trial welds are usually done which is very costly. Therefore the numerical simulation research has been conducted to understand the whole proce...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Nugget Geometry and Temperature Distribution in Resistance Spot Welding
Resistance spot welding is an important manufacturing process in the automotive industry for assembling bodies. The quality and strength of the welds and, by extension, the body is mainly defined by the quality of the weld nuggets. The most effective parameters in this process are sheet material, geometry of electrodes, electrode force, current intensity, welding time and sheet thickness. The p...
متن کاملOnline qualitative nugget classification by using a linear vector quantization neural network for resistance spot welding
Real-time estimation of weld quality from process data is one of the key objectives in current weld control systems for resistance spot-welding processes. This task can be alleviated if the weld controller is equipped with a voltage sensor in the secondary circuit. Replacing the goal of quantifying the weld quality in terms of button size by the more modest objective of indirect estimation of t...
متن کاملNugget formation and growth during resistance spot welding of aluminium alloy 5182
Surface interaction at the worksheet/worksheet interface during resistance spot welding of aluminium alloy 5182 with spherical tip electrodes was investigated. Oxide layer cracking and nugget formation were focused. Both experimental work and finite element analysis were employed to explain the contact behaviour at this interface. It was found that sheet separation and thus bending occurred dur...
متن کاملAnisotropic Materials Characterization Using Air-coupled Ultrasound
Ultrasonic materials characterization is widely used to assess both properties and defects of structural components. Recently, the option of gasor air-coupled ultrasonic testing has become a realistic possibility. In this paper we develop the application of resonant sound transmission methods through ambient air in anisotropic materials with the sound wavevector oriented in a general direction ...
