Since stainless steel sheets have good mechanical properties, weldability, appearance and corrosion resistance, they are commonly used as one of the structural materials of the railroad cars or the commercial vehicles which are manufactured by the spat welding. Among the many kinds of spot welded lap joints, it can be found that multi-lap joints are employed in their body structure. But, fatigue strength of these joints is lower than that of base metal due to high stress concentration at the nugget edge of spot weld and is considerably influenced by welding conditions as well as the mechanical and geometrical factors. Thus, it is necessary to establish a reasonable and systematic design criterion for the long life design of the spot-welded body structures. In this paper, the stress distribution and deformation around the spot-welded multi-lap joints subjected to tensile shear load was numerically analyzed. Also, the $\Delta$P-Nf curve was obtained by fatigue tests. Using these results, $\Delta$P-Nf curves were rearranged in to the ${\Delta}{\sigma}$-Nf relation with the maximum stress at nugget edge of spot weld.

The spot weldability of dissimilar metal joints between stainless steels (AISI316) and interstitial free (IF) steels were investigated. This study was aimed to determine the spot welding parameters for a dissimilar metal joint and to evaluate the dissimilar metal joint's weldability, including its welding nugget shape, tensileshear strength, hardness, and microstructure. The fracture surface was investigated by using a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The experimental results showed that the shape of nugget was asymmetric, in which the fusion zone of the STS316 sheet was larger due to the higher bulk-resistance. The microstructure of the fusion zone was fully martensite. In order to evaluate the microstructure further, dilution of stainless steels were calculated and imposed onto the Schaeffler diagram. The predicted microstructure from the Schaeffler diagram was martensite. In order to confirm the predicted microstructure, XRD measurements were carried out. The results showed that that initial weld nugget was composed of austenite and martensite.

Steels have excellent mechanical properties and weldability. They are also economically producible. Thus, they are widely applied in various industries. However, they have a disadvantage in that rust can occur after a certain period of time. To compensate for this, Zn, which has excellent sacrificial corrosion resistance, can be coated on steels. With global zinc consumption increasing at the current rate, depletion is expected in the near future. Recently, POSCO has developed innovative Al-Zn-Si alloy coated steel sheets with better corrosion resistance than Zn coating. In this study, corrosion resistance, weldability, friction characteristics, and so on were evaluated compared to GI steel sheets to evaluate their applicability to automotive steel sheets. It showed excellent corrosion resistance even at a lower coating weight compared to GI steel sheet. It was also excellent in terms of galling and welding LME. Its spot welding life, electrodeposition coating, and bendability were equally excellent. This is presumed to be related to the formation of the Al-Zn-Si alloy phase at the interface of the coating layer.
