performance of automobiles. Automatic detection of spot welding based on machine vision …

This work aims to respond to the need derived from the highly changing and competitive
nature of the industrial environment in which the resistance spot welding (RSW) process is …

Reliable quality control of resistance spot welding (RSW) is a long-standing challenge, due
to random disturbance on automotive production lines. In this paper, a quality evaluation …

Resistance spot welding for industrial applications is a fully automated process which
however lacks this aspect when it comes to quality assessment (QA). The current study …

Dynamic resistance is one of the most common and important signals used to monitor and
control the resistance spot welding (RSW) process. However, existing studies on the signal …

In resistance spot welding, the quality of welds is not only affected by the correct design of
the welding cycle, but also by the electrode degradation that occurs over time. This work …

This study presents a non-destructive testing (NDT) thermographic procedure for assessing
the quality and mechanical strength of Resistance Projection Welded (RPW) joints with …

An external magnetic field is applied in resistance spot welding (RSW) of 3 mm thick AA
6061-T6 sheets to improve the weld quality. Under the action of the external magnetic field …

Realtime quality inspection of resistance spot welding (RSW) is a promising way to actualize
intelligent manufacturing of automotive body structures. Apart from nugget diameter, weld …
