Zinc-coated ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) sheets are highly susceptible to liquid metal
embrittlement (LME) during resistance spot welding. However, systematic understanding on …

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 …

Electrode degradation during the resistance spot welding (RSW) of coated steels has been
a major challenge in automobile manufacturing as it affects the weld quality in terms of …

To accurately model the resistance spot welding (RSW) joint in finite element analysis (FEA),
the constitutive behavior of materials in various weld regions such as heat-affected zone …

Abstract Ti6Al4V-SS316L steel joints are vital in automotive and nuclear industries due to
lightweight, creep, and corrosive resistivity; however, their fusion-based weldments readily …

This paper explores the resistance spot weldability of three martensitic (MS) steels of 1500
MPa tensile strength. A weld diameter versus current plot was developed for the three MS …

Resistance spot welding is used extensively in the assembly of the car body in white on the
production line. During the continuous welding process, a specific combination of welding …

Current and heat flow at the contact surfaces of electrode and sheet materials play a vital
role in joining of sheet metals by the Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) technique. Further, the …

Joining of stainless steel to carbon steel is widely used in various industries. Resistance
spot welding (RSW) is a suitable process for joining steel sheets. Due to the complexity and …
