Resistance spot welding (RSW) is the most widely used for joining thin sheet metals in automotive industry. Various applications of dissimilar materials and thicknesses were commonly found in many spot welding processes especially in the manufacture of car body. The resistance spot welding of dissimilar materials are generally more challenge than similar materials due to differences in the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the base metals. Differences of materials have an impact on heat input generated at the spot welding. Diameter of the weld nugget size is influenced by several parameters such as electric current, welding time, different types of material, and the thickness of the plate. Nugget diameter will influence on physical and mechanical properties weld such as microstructure, shear strength and hardness. For practical use, various industrial standards have recommended a minimum weld size for a given sheet thickness, mostly in the form of tables. For example the American Welding Society (AWS), Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). They were only suitable to be apllied on the similar metal and thickness joint because in this joint, symetrical nugget will be formed. Meanwhile a type of dissimilar metal that joined by spot welding method will result in the asymetrical nugget. This paper aims to review the results of researchs on the similar and dissimilar resistance spot welded joint to evaluate the use of similar metals weld parameters and standards on the dissimilar metals weld. It was determined that parameters welding such as electric current, welding time, and the standard for similar metals weld can not be applied on the dissimilar metals weld. The asymetrical nugget shape decreased shear strength on the weld nugget. The most important factor that was considered on the dissimilar metals weld to make high quality weld joint was nugget diameter. If the nugget diameter weld increased the strength of welding will increase.

The development of technology in manufacturing is currently very fast. One of the important processes involved is joining, including the process of resistance spot welding or better known as spot welding. The use of point welding has several advantages, including a neat shape of the joint, the process is faster, the connection is tighter and the operation is relatively easy and does not require filler metal. The connection of relatively thin plate-shaped steel using resistance spot welding is an alternative option that is widely used by the automotive parts production industry. However, there are no data regarding the best time and data regarding the hardness test, nugget diameter, and shear test on SPCEN steel material. This study aims to determine the effect of spot welding time on hardness, shear strength and nugget diameter on SPCEN steel material. This study used an experimental method with a time variable of 1 second, 2 seconds and 3 seconds with standard material SPCEN JIS G 3141, standard hardness testing using DIN 50103 and standard shear testing using ASTM D 1002. equal that is 3.3 mm. The lowest average nugget hardness results are found on steel plates marked with the name ABC, time of 1 second with an average nugget hardness of 116.6 HRB and the highest average nugget hardness is found on GHI steel within 3 seconds with an average nugget hardness of 117 , 9 HRB. The lowest average yield of shear strength is found in ABC steel at 1 second with a maximum shear strength of 294.82 N / m² and a maximum load of 1592.01 Newton, the highest average yield of shear strength is found on steel plates marked with the name GHI time 3 seconds with a maximum tension of 415.89 N / m² and a maximum load of 2245.83 Newton. Thus the longer the spot welding time (spot welding), the greater the current used, the greater the heat generated and the hardness and shear strength become stronger. Shows the best time for spot welding (spot welding) of 1.6 mm SPCEN steel plate in 3 seconds.

This research examines the weldment characteristics and mechanical properties of lap joints of SUS316L/SUS425 stainless steels using resistance spot welding under variable weld currents and welding times. The weld current was varied between 7.0, 8.5, and 10.0 kA, and the welding time between 25, 38, and 50 cycles. The weldment quality characteristics under study were the depth of fusions, indentation depths, and nugget diameter, and the mechanical properties included the tensile shear force (TSF) and micro Vickers hardness. Phase transformation and solidification were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, together with Schaeffler and pseudo-binary predictive phase diagrams. The results revealed that the weldment quality was positively correlated with weld current and welding time, as were the TSF and micro hardness. The optimal welding condition was achieved under a 10.0 kA weld current and 25-cycle welding time. Under the optimal condition, the fusion zone exhibited compression-direction columnar grains consisting of austenite, ferrite, and martensite and the solidification was of ferrite plus Widmanstatten austenite.

In this study, effects of welding time and elements Mg, Si and Cu in aluminum alloys on hardness and tensile shear strength of aluminum alloys/steel joints in resistance spot welding have been investigated. The welding current was kept a constant 10.5kA and electrode force was 1kN. Welding time was increased from 0.067s up to 0.2s with a rise of 0.033s. Two intermetallic compound layers were generated at weld interfacial zones between aluminum alloys and steel during welding process, and the major phases were FeAl3 adjacent and directing to aluminum alloy and Fe2Al5 adjacent and directing to the steel. Diffusion of Si in aluminum alloy occurred at the interface, whereas the diffusion of Mg and Cu was not observed at the interface according to the EPMA analysis results. Hardness of intermetallic compound layers was 13.8GPa, which was about 12 times as much as that of the aluminum alloy. The largest tensile-shear strength was obtained on the condition of 0.134 and 0.167s welding time.


This study was intended to optimize the resistance Spot Welding Parameters (RSW) of sheet metals joints. The variation parameters selected were electrode force, welding current and welding time of 1.2 mm thickness low carbon steel. The settings of process parameters were conducted according to the L9 Taguchi orthogonal array in randomized way. The optimum process parameter was then obtained by using signal to noise ratio and analyzed further on the significant level by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The developed response has been found well fitted and can be effectively used for tensile shear strength prediction. The optimum parameters achieved were electrode force (2.3 kN), welding time (10 cycles) and welding current (8 kA). Based on the ANOVA, it was found that the electrode force is a vital parameter in controlling the tensile shear strength as compared to welding time and welding current.

This article present the optimization work describes out to joint the dissimilar galvanized steel of SECC-AF (JIS G 3313) and SGCC (JIS G 3302) material. A zinc coating on the surfaces of the galvanized steel sheets will decrease the weldability characteristic of the material. This study used dissimilar galvanised steel sheets to obtain the highest tensile shear strength from the specified resistance spot welding. This research used the Taguchi method with 4-variables and mixed-experimental levels. The mixed-experimental level, namely 2-experimental levels for the first variable and 3-experimental levels for other variables. The highest tensile shear strength was achieved in 5282.13 N. This condition is achieved at a squeezed time of 20 cycles, 27 kA-welding currents, welding time of 0.5 seconds, and holding time of 18 cycles. The S/N ratio analysis has shown the welding current had the most significant effect, followed by welding time, squeeze time, and holding time. The delta values of S/N ratio were 0.79, 0.64, 0.26 and 0.07, respectively. The ANOVA analysis has shown that the P-value of welding current and welding time is 0.006 (0.6%) and 0.015 (1.5%), respectively. This result is expected for optimizing resistance spot welding quality in other materials or significant aspects.

The present study features analytical and experimental results of optimizing resistance spot welding performed using a pneumatic (electrode) force system (PFS). This optimization was carried out to incorporate the galvanized steel sheet material SECC-AF (JIS G 3313) and SPCC-SD (JIS 3141) sheet plate coated with zinc with a thickness of about 2.5 microns. The zinc coating on the metal surface causes its weldability to decrease. This study aims to obtain the highest tensile shear strength test results from the combination of the specified resistance spot welding parameters. The research method used the Taguchi method using four variables and a combination of experimental tingkats. This study's experimental tingkat is two tingkats in the first parameter and three tingkats in other parameters. Taguchi optimization results show that the highest tensile shear strength test obtained is 5049.64 N. This was achieved at 22 cycles of squeeze time, 25 kA of welding current, and 0,6-second welding-time, and 12 cycles of holding-time. The S / N ratio analysis found that the welding time had the most significant effect, followed by welding current, holding time, and squeeze time. The delta S / N ratio values were 0.62, 0,41, 0.34 and 0.07, respectively.
