Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) during Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) can cause cracks when welding advanced high strength steels. Recent advances in steel metallurgy, resistance spot welding processing and accompanying simulation tools have substantially improved the...
Car body-in-white (BIW) structures, such as pillars and rails, are increasingly made of complex stack-ups of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) for vehicle lightweighting to achieve improved fuel efficiency and crashworthiness. Complex stack-ups comprise more than...
Introduction Joint Performance Comparisons All Processes General Comparisons Cost Effectiveness Comparison: Spot Welding to Spot/Laser Welding Mixture GMAW Compared to Laser Welding Introduction A solution to improve the spot weld strength is to add a HS adhesive to...
