The purpose of the present investigations is to study statistically controlled solution (from sensitization point of view) for 304 stainless steel (SS) joints using resistance spot welding process (RSWP). Starting from the parametric optimization of RSWP parameters (based upon Taguchi design), welded joints were prepared for functional checking. The output parameters selected for controlling the sensitization were hardness and tensile strength of welded joints. The results are supported by SEM analysis. Further the study suggests that the RSWP was found to be under statistical control (at optimized settings suggested by Taguchi design) as regard to sensitization of welded joint is concerned.

This research was study the effect of resistance spot welding process on physical properties. The specimen was austenitic stainless steel sheet of 1 mm. The experiments with 23 factorial design. The factors used in this study are welding current at 8,000 and 12,000 Amp, welding time at 8 and 12 cycle and electrode force were set at 1.5 and 2.5 kN. The welded specimens were tested by tensile shear testing according to JIS Z 3136: 1999 and macro structure testing according to JIS Z 3139: 1978. The result showed that the welding current, welding time and electrode force had interaction on tensile shear and nugget size at 95% confidential (P value < 0.05). Factors affecting the tensile shear are the most welding current of 12,000 amp., welding time of 8 cycle and electrode force of 2.5 kN. were tensile shear of 9.83 kN. The nugget size was maximum at 7.15 mm. on welding current of 12,000 amp., welding time of 12 cycle and electrode force of 1.5 kN This research can bring information to the foundation in choosing the appropriate parameters to resistance spot welding process.

Abstract This paper researches the effect of zinc coating of galvanized DP600 steel on the dynamic resistance and the delayed nugget formation of dissimilar DP600 - AISI304 welded joints, obtained with resistance spot welding process (RSW). The RSW evaluations consisted of determining, from the dynamic resistance curves, the time involved in the different stages of the process, particularly the beginning of nugget formation. The experimental results showed that, from the dynamic resistance curves, it is possible to identify 8 distinct stages during the welding of galvanized DP600 steel and AISI304 stainless steel. In the case of the welding of uncoated DP600 steel with AISI304, only 6 stages are identified (except for stages 2 and 3), which are directly related to the heating, softening and melting of the galvanic coating. The energy used in stages 2 and 3, causes a delay in the beginning of nugget formation for welded joints obtained with galvanized DP600 steel compared to uncoated DP600 - AISI304 welded joints, reaching values between 37.28 ms and 52.29 ms for the welding conditions analyzed. Monitoring the time duration of stages 2 and 3, as defined from the analysis of the dynamic resistance curves, could be used as a tool to predict the beginning of nugget formation in the welding of galvanized steels, to avoid undesirable phenomena such as expulsion and to guarantee the quality of the welded joints.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is an important welding process in modern industrial production, and the quality of welding nugget determines the strength of products to a large extent. Limited by the level of RSW quality monitor, however, RSW has rarely been applied to the fields with high welding quality requirements. Associated with the inversion theory, in this paper, an electromagnetic inverse model of RSW was established, and the analysis of influence factors, such as the layout of the probes, the discrete program and the regularization method, was implemented as well. The result shows that the layout of the probe and the regularization method has great influence on the model. When the probe is located at the y direction of x-axis or the x direction of y-axis and Conjugate Gradient method is selected, a much better outcome can be achieved.
