  • Patent number: 11167370
    Abstract: A resistance spot welding method of galvanized high-strength steel with good joint performance, in which three welding pulses are used within one spot welding schedule. The method includes applying a first welding pulse and a second welding pulse which are used for generating a nugget and suppressing the generation of liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracks, respectively. The first welding pulse generates a nugget having a diameter of 3.75T1/2-4.25T1/2 in which T represents a plate thickness. The second welding pulse causes the nugget to grow at a rate less than a rate of growth during the first welding pulse. A third welding pulse, which is a tempering pulse, is applied for improving plasticity of a welding spot.

  • Publication number: 20190321907
    Abstract: A resistance spot welding method of galvanized high-strength steel with good joint performance, wherein: three welding pulses are used within one spot welding schedule; a first welding pulse and a second welding pulse are used for generating a nugget and suppressing the generation of liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracks, wherein the first welding pulse generates a nugget having a diameter of 3.75T½-4.25T½ in which T represents a plate thickness; the second welding pulse causes the nugget to grow slowly; and a third welding pulse which is a tempering pulse is used for improving plasticity of a welding spot. A time t1 of the first welding pulse is set and a welding current I1 of the first welding pulse is obtained through tests, and the welding current I1 of the first welding pulse is a welding current upon generating the nugget having the diameter of 3.75T½-4.
