Abstract
Magnetic flux density around the weld area was used to reconstruct the current density distribution during resistance spot welding (RSW) of aluminum alloy according to inverse problem theory. A current-magnetic field model was established and the conjugate gradient method was used to solve this model. The results showed that the current density was low at the center of nugget while high on the edge of nugget. Moreover, the welding time of 30 ms—60 ms is a key period for nucleation. The current density distribution can reflect whether the weld nugget is formed or splashed, therefore it has the potential to monitor the weld quality of RSW.
