Abstract

Optimal welding condition in resistance spot welding of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy sheets with the thickness of 0.4mm was investigated by the tensile-shear strength tests and Taguchi method in experimental design with changing various welding conditions respectively. The tensile-shear tests were carried out at cross-head speeds of 0.1mm/min in accordance with the KS B0851. Design methods were systematically performed using an L27(39) orthogonal array table. In the experimental design, three control factors of resistance spot welding conditions were electrode force, welding current and welding time. Electrode force conditions were 882N, 1323N and 1764N, and welding current were 13.5kA, 14kA and 14.5kA, and welding time were 3cycle, 4cycle and 5cycle.
