Abstract:

Single sided resistance spot welding (SSRSW) developed from RSW is a feasible plan to join vehicle structure to closed-form tube and is increasingly used in automobile manufacturing. During the process of SSSW, large deformation and complex contact status of the workpieces occur because there is no inside support. The complex contact status has directly influence on the size of the nugget which is critical to the quality of welding. In this study, the contact statuses during the current stage of sheet-to-tube spot welding were researched by numerical method. It was found that the widths of the contact regions of electrode to sheet and sheet and sheet to tube have dynamic change during welding process which decided the size and speed of the nugget formation. The results have direct guiding significance to the study on ring nugget formation during sheet-to-tube welding.
