Effect of Process Parameter on Tensile Strength of Spot Welded S235 Sheet Using Simulation and Experimental

This study focused on investigation of the effect of process parameter to the tensile strength of a spot welded S235 low carbon steel through simulation and experiment. Resistance spot welding (RSW) is commonly used in joining metal sheets due to its key capabilities, which is time and cost effective as well as high adaptability for automation. However, strength and reliability of a spot welded joint especially in an auto vehicle can be...
