Abstract :
Resistance spot welding (RSW) is considered as the dominant process for
joining similar and dissimilar sheet metals in automotive industry. In this
paper will be present the strength analyses of spot weld joint and analyse
the transition between interfacial and pull-out failure modes for resistance
spot weld joints of aluminium and austenitic stainless steel sheet, during
the tensile–shear test, by usage analytical and experimental approach. For
experimental testing, the specimen of 1 mm and 2 mm thickness were used,
welded with different welding parameters.
