In this paper, we atempt to control the nonlinear power system for resistance spot welders to be a fully linearizesd system by applying the recently developed nonlinear feedback linearization techniques. the controller proposed in this paper is computationally simple. In addition, the easy gain tuning as well as the high dynamic performance of resistance spot welding systems can be obained simulaneously. To illustrate the dynamic performance of our controller further, we present some simulation results.

The demand for lightweight materials and high-strength steel has rapidly increased to help reduce the weight of a vehicle body; it improves the fuel efficiency of automobiles and provides passenger safety. Additionally, as the material becomes thinner, the demand for its resistance against corrosion becomes higher. Hence, the application of the surface-treated steel sheet has surged rapidly. In this study, a weld bonding experiment using a delta spot welding machine is performed on a thin sheet of a different material (Al6061-T6/GA440). The thickness of the material was kept at 1 mm to reduce the weight of the automobile body parts. Additionally, the purpose of this study is to control the heat input by applying the welding conditions of a multi-stage pressure pattern to improve corrosion resistance shear strength. The analysis of nugget diameter measurement, shear tensile test, and salt spray test was performed to achieve the aim.

In this study, an electric resistance-heated surface friction spot-welding process was proposed and tested for the spot-welding ability of copper and aluminum dissimilar metal sheets using electric resistance heating and surface friction heating. This process has welding variables, such as the current value, energizing cycles, rotational speed, and friction time. The current value and energizing cycle can affect the resistance heat, and the rotational speed of the rotating pin and friction time influence frictional heat generation. Resistance heating before friction heating has a preheating effect on the Cu-Al contact interface and a positive effect on preventing friction heat loss during the friction stage. However, because resistance preheating can soften the copper sheet and affect the contact stress and friction coefficient, it has difficulties that may adversely affect frictional heat generation. Therefore, the optimal combination of welding variables should be determined through simulations and experiments of the spot-welding process to determine the effects of electric resistance preheating on the suggested process. Through this procedure, it is known that the proposed spot-welding process can improve the welding quality during the spot welding of Cu-Al sheets.

이 연구는 electric resistance element spot welding 프로세스를 도입하여 알루미늄 합금-강철의 이종 접합부의 기계적 강도 및 내식성을 향상시키기 위해 수행되었다. SPFC980Y 강철과 Al5052-H32가 각각 모재로써 적용되었고, S20C 강철은 리벳 element로써 음각과 양각의 형상으로 구분되며, Al5052-H32에 전기 저항 스폿 용접을 위해 리벳팅 되어 6.5 kA의 전류와 250 kgf/㎠의 가압력으로 접합되었다. 그 결과, 음각된 S20C element는 스폿 용접 공정 후 불안정한 너깃이 형성되는 반면, 양각된 S20C의 경우, 구조적으로 건전한 접합부로 건전한 내식성 및 탁월한 기계적 특성이 얻어졌다. FEM 시뮬레이션의 도입으로, 음각과 양각의 계면의 접합 특성이 수치적으로 밝혀졌으며, 시뮬레이션 결과는 미세조직 발달 양상을 수치적으로 뒷받침하였다. 이 연구는 element 스폿 용접된 H32-A5052 이종 접합부의 기계적 강도 및 부식 신뢰성에 대해 체계적으로 분석되었으며, 이 공정은 금속재료뿐만 아니라, 경량 비전도성 비철/비금속계 재료에도 적용 될 수 있기 때문에, 차세대 차체 경량화의 양산 기술로 확장 될 수 있다.

최근 자동차에까지 환경친화적인 제품을 의무화하는 규제가 증가하고 있어 전구에 사용되는 납땜을 용접으로 대체하기 위한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 측면 스폿용접의 문제점을 파악하여 TIG 제살용접공정을 개발하였고 용접시 깨지기 쉬운 유리부의 용접을 위해 세라믹 구조물을 개발하였다. 또한 바닥부 구멍을 메울 수 있도록 기존 바닥부 용가재 용접의 단점을 보완하여 최적 공정 파라미터를 선정하였다. 마지막으로 전구 수명 시험과 내진성 평가를 실시하여 용접된 제동등의 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, bending test was performed on the real-scale, built-up beam test model fabricated by the $CO_2$ arc spot welding to evaluate the applicability of the welding method to the production of the stiffened plate in car-carrying ship. The built-up beam models which were fixed at both ends in longitudinal direction or simply supported to the rigid foundation, depending on the restraint condition of the corresponding car decks considered, were subjected to simulated design vehicle loads or concentrated point loads. During the test, the central deflection and the longitudinal bending stresses were measured from several points on the longitudinal flange face to predict the section properties of the built-up beams. The longitudinal bending stress on each spot weld were also measured to calculate the average horizontal shear force subjected to spot welds. Test results revealed that the shear strength of spot welds with their current weld nugget size and welding pitch was adequate enough to withstand the horizontal shear forces under the design vehicle loads. Although the built-up beam fabricated by the arc spot welding was a discontinuous beam, its mechanical behavior was well explained by the continuous beam theory using the effective breadth of plate. Based on test results, the criterion for the size of spot weld of which the average shear stress might meet the allowable stress requirement of AWS Code could be established.

In this study, an electric resistance dual-spot welding process using a copper electrode inserted in a heating electrode is suggested for the spot welding of AZ31 magnesium sheets. This spot-welding process involves two heating methods for welding at the interfacial zone between the magnesium sheets, one of which is the heating method by thermal conduction from the heating electrode heated by the welding current induced to the steel electrode, and the other heating method uses the electric resistance between the contacted surfaces of the two sheets by the welding current induced to the copper electrode. This welding process includes the welding variables, such as the current induced in the heating electrode and the copper electrode, and the outer diameters of the heating electrode. This is because the heat conducted from the heating electrode can be maintained at a higher temperature in the welding zone, which has a slow cooling effect on the nugget of the melted metal after the welding step. The pressure exerted during the pressing of the magnesium sheets by the heating electrode can be increased around the nugget zone at the spot-welding zone. Thus, it not only reduces the warping effect of the elastoplastic deformation of sheets, but also the corona bond can make it less prone to cracking at the welded zone, thereby reducing the number of nuggets expelled out of the corona bond. In conclusion, it was known that an electric resistance dual spot welding process using the copper electrode inserted in the heating electrode can improve the welding properties in the electric resistance spot welding process of AZ31 magnesium sheets.
