Drawing on state-of-the-art research results, Resistance Welding: Fundamentals and
Applications, Second Edition systematically presents fundamental aspects of important …

Failure mode of resistance spot welds is a qualitative indicator of weld performance. Two
major types of spot weld failure are pull-out and interfacial fracture. Interfacial failure, which …

To reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, dual phase (DP) steels have
been considered for automotive applications due to their higher tensile strength, better initial …

The use of dual phase (DP) steels in the automobile industry unavoidably involves welding
and dynamic loading. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the microstructural …

Abstract Effect of parameters such as current density, welding time, electrodes force and
holding time after welding on tensile-shear strength of dissimilar joint were analyzed …

The weldment consisted of four zones: fusion zone, partially melted zone, heat affected zone
and base metal. Liquation film, liquated grain boundaries, liquation crack and softening …

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) caused cracking of Galvanized transformation induced
plasticity steels was investigated during resistance spot welding (RSW). Effect of electrode …

The microstructural characteristics, tensile properties and low-cycle fatigue properties of a
dual-phase steel (DP780) were investigated following its joining by three methods: laser …
