This paper presents a comparative study of the AC and MFDC resistance spot welding process. Two identical welders were used; one with a single phase AC and the other with a median frequency DC weld control. Both welders were instrumented such that the primary and secondary voltage and current could be collected. A nugget growth experiment was conducted to compare the weld size and energy consumption in the AC and MFDC welding processes. It is found that the MFDC process generally produces larger welds with the same welding current. However, this difference is more prominent when the welding current is low. Overall the AC welding process consumes more energy to make a same size weld. The larger the welding current is used, the less efficient the AC process becomes.
