Optical Measurement of Spot Resistance Welding Guns

Current Measurement of Resistance Spot Welding Using DSP

This study aims to calculate the resistance spot welding current digitally at a fast speed. The conventional open-loop spot welding machine cannot measure the current, thus the welding quality varies. The welding time of spot welder is very short, but the welding current is strong and it is hard to be measured, thereby resulting in the uncontrollability of welding quality. This study uses a hig...

Resistance Spot Welding of Steels: Modeling and Simulation

Resistance spot welding (RSW) includes many variables that can influence the weld properties. The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical model for prediction of thermal history and weld microstructure in RSW and to find the most important process parameters that influence the weld microstructure. A one dimensional model is proposed for prediction about thermal history during cooling ...

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...
