Abstract
According to the welding current and electrode voltage detected in resistance spot welding, the dynamic resistance was calculated and the nugget growing thermo-effect in process of nugget forming was studied. The results showed that the process of nugget growth in resistance spot welding can be divided into three stages, which were initial stage, growing stage and stable stage. The welding current provided energy for nugget growth, which showed a high linear relationship with mean dynamic resistance and more prominent polynomial relationship with dynamic resistance heat. The dynamic resistance heat was an important evaluating indicator to the nugget growing thermo-effect, which was closely related to the characteristics of nugget forming. As the dynamic resistance heat was increased, the nugget diameter and tensile shear strength of spot weld were raised and showed a more prominent polynomial relationship. According to the calculation of dynamic resistance heat, these relationships provided a method for the nondestructive test of nugget quality features.
