Abstract
High speed resistance welding (HSRW) is a high volume manufacturing route for the production of welded cans. Full optimisation of such a process requires a scientific understanding of the relationships between process variables and thermal effects occurring in the weld zone and heat affected zone. This paper describes work undertaken as part of an ongoing project to develop a predictive computer model of the HSRW process. Currently, the model has been used to investigate the effects of process variables on the macroscale thermal fields developed during welding. The model formulation and some results generated using the model are discussed in order to highlight the effects of certain key process variables.
