Dissimilar joining of aluminium and steel, especially using resistance spot welding as a
critical process in vehicle manufacturing, is a key challenge for multi-materials lightweight …

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 …

An AZ31 Mg alloy and 316L austenitic stainless steel (ASS) were joined via resistance spot
welding (RSW) and resistance element welding (REW). The RSW joints were found to be …

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a widely employed technique for joining metallic
components in different sectors of various industries. However, the quality of the weld joints …

The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the transition criteria from interfacial
to pullout failure mode in AHSS resistance spot welds during the tensile-shear test by the …

Quasi-static tensile shear mechanical properties of resistance spot welds of three dual
phase (DP) grades including DP600, DP780 and DP980 are investigated. Results showed …

Weld expulsion is a universal problem during resistance spot welding (RSW) process and
has potential damage to welding products and surrounding facilities. This study presents a …

The work here addresses the investigation of the effect of the welding parameters (welding
time, welding current and electrode force) on the overload failure mode and mechanical …

Microstructure and failure behavior of galvanized low carbon steel resistance spot welds
were investigated. Failure mode, peak load and energy absorption obtained in tensile-shear …
