This work aims to respond to the need derived from the highly changing and competitive
nature of the industrial environment in which the resistance spot welding (RSW) process is …

Zinc-coated ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) sheets are highly susceptible to liquid metal
embrittlement (LME) during resistance spot welding. However, systematic understanding on …

Resistance spot welding for industrial applications is a fully automated process which
however lacks this aspect when it comes to quality assessment (QA). The current study …

The present research utilized the resistance spot welding process on stainless steel and low
carbon steel. The diameters of joint and nugget, microstructure and shearing strength of …

In resistance spot welding, the quality of welds is not only affected by the correct design of
the welding cycle, but also by the electrode degradation that occurs over time. This work …

Electrode degradation in the continuous resistance spot-welding process of baked
hardening (BH) 220 steel was evaluated by an electrode life test, and weldability tests were …

In an automotive battery pack, many Li-ion cells are connected to meet the energy and
power requirement. The micro-resistance spot welding (micro-RSW) process is one of the …

One of the most important challenges associated with resistance spot welding of coated
sheets is short electrode life time. It has been established that the two factors-electrode tip …

The quality of resistance spot welding (RSW) joints is strongly affected by the condition of
the electrodes. This work develops a machine learning-based tool to automatically assess …

The aim of this investigation is to offer a data-based scheme for predicting electrode wear in
resistance spot welding. One of the major factors affecting the mechanical properties of spot …
