The book begins with thorough coverage of Resistance Spot Welding fundamentals and principles, including concepts such as Lobe Curves, contact resistance vs. electrode force, dynamic resistance, heat balance challenges, nugget growth, machine types and power supplies, and electrodes. Subsequent chapters address challenges and approaches to important topics of welding advanced high-strength steels, such as DP, TRIP, TWIP, andPress HardeningSteel, as well as aluminum alloys. Welding issues associated with the various coatings used on these steels are addressed. The final chapters are dedicated...
