Abstract
Recently, the weight reduction of automotive body and crash safety become much more important factors. In addition, the corrosion resistance must be ensured for any material used in a structural part of automotive components. In an effort to satisfy these requirements, zinc-coated high strength steels have been developed. However, challenges to resistance spot weldability of zinc-coated high strength steel such as liquid metal embrittlement (LME) have emerged. In this study, the high temperature tensile test was conducted for 980MPa DP steel. And resistance spot welding was conducted for 980MPa DP steel and CP steel. The results show that the fracture behavior during tensile test are influenced by the temperature and strain rate. Cracks were formed on the weld surface of the DP steel after welding.
