Fatigue Life Prediction of Spot Welds in SPCC

냉간압연강판 점용접부의 피로수명예측

Spot welding has been used in the sheet metal joining processes because of its high productivity and convenience. In this study effects of welding conditions on the fatigue life and predicting methods of fatigue life of spot welded joint have been studied. Fatigue life was estimated by stress index parameter considering multiaxial stresses. Fatigue tests were conducted with the tensile-shear specimens using SPCC. Fatigue life of spot welded joint was influenced by welding currents and was predicted exactly with taking into account Stage III.
