Metal Addition

Filler metal addition has been verified as an effective way to refine mechanical behaviour of cold rolled mild steel in resistance spot welding.Negligible quantity of filler metal if added to the spot weld is found to improve mechanical properties of spot weldments , if no variation in composition of base metal and filler metal is allowed.. Looking at practical applications, sensitivity of the Resistance Spot Welding process with filler metal to variation in preheating treatment were experimentally investigated.Filler metal quantity was from 30 mg to 70 mg and preheat heat treatment was kept between 20% to 60%.The material of the filler metal is same as that of base metal and was added at the centre of overlap in lap joint.The experimentation was carried out by spot welding of specimen varying filler metal from 30 mg to 70 mg maintaining preheating cycle constant at 20%.The experimentation was then repeated for different preheat cycles.For 20% to 60% of preheat cycle, maximum breaking point was found to be varying linearly with increase in preheat level. Overall improvement in load bearing and energy absorption capability was observed as majority of specimen fail under the button pullout mode

This research was study the effect of resistance spot welding process on physical properties. The specimen was mild steel sheet metal. The experiments with full factorial design. The factors used in this study are welding current, welding time and electrode force. 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 both of 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 and nugget size are the most welding current 10,000 amp., welding time 10 cycle and electrode force 1 kN. were tensile shear 7.13 kN. and nugget size maximum 6.75 mm. This research can bring information to the foundation in choosing the appropriate parameters to resistance spot welding process.

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.

Welding Spot

The resistance spot welding process represents the welding technology used to obtain assemblies trough welded spots characterized by adequate mechanical properties. This assembly process is used mainly into the automotive, petroleum and naval industries. It is applied due to the significant advantages concerning the technology and service properties of the obtained assembly. This paper purposes a study concerning the micro hardness change of an assembly made by resistance welding spot. The entire process of plastic deformations together with the solidification step developed in the presence of the heat generated during welding process determines the mechanical characteristics of the welded spot and, of course, of the assembly obtained. In such conditions, depending on the changes developed during the welding process, the micro hardness of the welded spot varies between the fusion area (FA) and heat affected zone (HAZ). In this way, the graphical representation of the micro hardness repartition gives clues about the weakness areas which don’t correspond to the requirements. As input factors, in this study, the values of current intensity, the electrical current time and the force pressure were considered. In order to solve the proposed problem and to graphically highlight the variation of the micro hardness obtained for welded points, it was used a classical welding device and a micro hardness device analyzer. The graphical representation shows that the micro-hardness and, as a consequence, some mechanical properties changes in the specified region and in the entire mass of the welded spot changes. In this way, the structure of welded spot is characterized by a variation of the hardness in the interest areas.
