Resistance spot welding has been widely used in the sheet metal joining processes because of its high productivity and convenience. In the resistance spot welding processes the size of molten nugget is a criterion to assess weld quality. Many research have founded on measuring weld nugget size at the same time monitoring welding process parameters such as dynamic resistance and electrode movement. With increasing demand of energy saving, many efforts were made to employ aluminum alloys that are lighter than steel and have relatively equivalent strength to steel in the automobile industry. In this paper, spot weldability of aluminum alloys for various welding conditions were examined by series of experiments. One of the 6000 series (Mg-Si) aluminum alloy, 6383-T4 was chosen, which is currently considered as a substitute for the galvanized steel. Dynamic resistance, electrode movement and corresponding nugget size were observed and compared to the case of steel. Finally, resistance spot welding of dissimilar material (galvanized steel-aluminum alloy) was attempted.

Vehicle body structures are formed by thousands of spot welds and fatigue failure of vehicle structures occur near the spot welds after driving a long way at a durability test road. It is necessary to know accurately the reason of the fatigue failure of the spot weld in the developing stage in order to reinforce it. Many investigations have been done regarding the strength of spot welded joints, contributing to understand its fatigue strength. In developing process, a fatigue failed spot welded area can be repaired by $CO_2$ welding or another method to continue the test. To know the effect of reinforcing these welds, several methods of welding were analyzed and compared to spot welding. With the results of this test, the appropriate repair method can be used instead of spot welding during the development of new car and best design guide can be given for the strength. In this study, fatigue and static tensile tests are made and microstructure is investigated for the purpose of estimating the strength of welded joints by using spot welded and $CO_2$ plug welded specimens. The tested specimens are of two types : Tensile-shear type(TS) and L-tension type(LT).

In this study, the fatigue characteristic of spot weld specimen was studied by using the various specimen. The specimen types were tensile shear specimen welded one spot and two spot, and cross tension. The tensile tests and fatigue tests were executed to know the mechanical properties under static and fatigue load condition. In addition, the relationship was illustrated by finite element method.

본 논문에서는 점용접 너깃의 피로수명을 고려한 차량 서브프레임의 용접간격 최적화 설계기법이 제안된다. 주파수영역 피로해석기법에 의해 점용접 너깃의 피로수명이 평가된다. 피로해석에서 사용되는 입력 데이터는 벨지안로 프로파일을 통과하는 차량동역학 해석과 차량 서브프레임 유한요소모델의 모드 주파수 해석을 통해 얻는다. 주파수 영역 피로해석으로 부터 얻은 피로수명 결과로부터 용접간격 최적화를 수행 할 설계점들이 선정된다. 점용접 너깃의 피로수명을 최대화시키는 용접간격을 얻기 위하여 4-요인, 3-수준 직교배열 실험계획법이 사용된다. 본 연구를 통하여 최적화된 서브프레임은 초기모델에 비하여 최소 피로수명을 갖는 용접 너깃의 피로수명이 약 65.8 % 증대되는 것을 알 수 있다.

점용접은 자동차 산업에서 많이 사용되어지는데 조립공정의 자동화로 인하여 경제성과 차체 중량을 높이지 않아 자동차 연비 개선효과가 있다. 그러나 차량 주행시 노면으로부터 불규칙적인 하중전달 및 진동으로 인하여 점 용접부에 응력집중이 발생하고 피로파괴가 종종 발생한다. 이에 대하여 강성변화를 고려한 점용접부의 피로수명 평가는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 선형정적해석을 수행하여 취약부위를 파악하였다. 점용접부의 피로특성을 획득하였고, 시간영역에서 3단계의 하중이력을 도출하여, 준정적 피로해석에 조건으로 설정하여 수행하였다. 또한 점용접부에 대한 피로수명예측 방법은 기존 방법과 피로누적으로 인한 손상방법을 적용하여 나타낸 결과를 가지고 비교분석하였다.

저항 스폿 용접은 자동 용접라인 등에서 널리 사용된다. 최근에는, 대량으로 생산하는 산업현장에서 좀 더 정교한 품질 제어가 필요하게 되었고 마이크로프로세서를 채용한 제어의 다양한 적용으로 높은 생산성과 더 나은 용접품질을 얻을 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 인버터 타입 파우어 소스와 용접 서보건을 개발하였다. 그 결과, 기존의 공압건에 비해 몇 가지 장점을 갖게 되었는데 그 중의 하나는 용접공정 중에 정밀한 가압력 제어가 가능하게 되었다. 또한, 작업시간도 줄고 경비도 절감되는 부가 효과를 얻을 수 있다고 판단된다.

Fatigue strength of the spot welded lap joint is considerably influenced by corrosive environments. Particularly, the chloride and the sulfide are most injurious to strength of the spot welded lap joint. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate its effect to corrosion fatigue strength for safe life design of spot welded structures. In order to evaluate their corrosion fatigue strength, corrosion fatigue tests on the spot welded lap joints of the uncoated and the coated high strength steel sheets were conducted in air and in 10% NaCl solution. Corrosion fatigue strength of the uncoated specimens were entirely lower than the coated one in NaCl solution, but those of the coated specimens in NaCl solution were lower than in air. And stress distribution in single spon welded lap joint subjected to tension-shear load was investigated by the finite element method. Using these results, we tried to evaluate corrosion fatgue strength of the various spot welded lap joints with maximum stress $\sigma_{max}$ at edge on loading side of the spot welded lap joint. We could find that corrosion fatigue strength could be quantitatively and systematically rearranged by $\sigma_{max}$.

The automobile is made up of thousands of parts. Some parts are formed by pressing and combined by spot welding. To find weldability conditions of spot welding, clearance between two welding plates was made and after spot welding, weldability is evaluated by means of tensile shear load, nugget size and shape. Specimen used in this study was a steel plate of 1.2mm thickness and electrode was Cu-Cr alloy of 6mm diameter. When spot welding started, the clearance of two specimens was changed 0mm, 3mm and 5mm and distance from vise to measure influence of bending moment 25mm, 45mm, 65mm step by step. The fractured surface of specimen after this test was observed by Optical Microscope to measure microstructure and nugget shape. When clearance of two specimen was 3mm and 5mm, strength and nugget size was decreased and nugget shape was not clear. The much bending moment and crosshead speed are the much tensile shear load is.
