Strength prediction of sheet to tube single sided resistance spot welding
AbstractSingle-Sided Spot Welding (SSSW) procedure is considered as a feasible method to join hydroformed or closed section parts to others in vehicle productions. A ‘doughnut’ shaped or ring nugget can be formed between the two workpieces during this process. The strengths of conventional button spot welds can be determined by the attributes of weldments and many functions that link weld diameter, sheet thickness and material properties to weld strength have been established. For welds of sheet to tube joining, the strength prediction model is greatly different from that of conventional welds for the completely different nugget form. In this study, computer experiments were conduced using the concept of design of experiments (DOE) and the method of finite element used to simulate the tensile-shear tests. The stress and strain distribution contour clouds during tensile-shear process were analyzed and quantitative relationship models were established to link a weld’s geometric and material properties to its tensile-shear strength. The results can give a simple judgment whether a ring spot weld was good only by its appearance.
