Resistance spot welding (RSW) is frequently employed in current industrial occasions.
However, the process is multi-field coupled and highly nonlinear, and full of uncertainties …

Currently, the use of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) is the most cost effective means
of reducing vehicle body weight and maintaining structural integrity at the same time …

The application of aluminum (Al)/steel hybrid structure has a broad prospect in automobile
weight reduction. In this work, AA6061/DP600 steel was joined using a resistance element …

Martensitic stainless steels exhibit poor resistance spot weldability, with high susceptibility to
interfacial failure due to the formation of brittle martensite in the fusion zone (FZ). To alter the …

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 …

In this work, an electrical–thermal–mechanical coupled finite element (FE) model for
resistance spot welding (RSW) process is developed to achieve a simultaneous simulation …

Third generation (GEN3) advanced high-strength steels are increasingly used to reduce
vehicle body structure weight for improved fuel economy. Zinc-induced liquid metal …

In the resistance spot welding (RSW) process of body structures, the initial gap (IG) occurs
frequently. The RSW with IG impact welding quality, and subsequently reducing the …

A ring-shaped permanent magnet is applied in resistance spot welding to improve the weld
quality of austenitic stainless steel. Under the action of an external magnetic field, the profile …

This paper deals with the effect of electrode force on resistance spot welding process. As
one of the most important parameters during the process, the electrode force can influence …
