Evaluation of Electrode Degradation and Projection Weld Strength in the Joining of Steel Nuts to Galvanized Advanced High Strength Steel
Abstract
Abstract
Projection welding of steel weld nuts to advanced high strength steel (AHSS) in automotive applications allows for the reliable mounting of critical components with different thicknesses to the vehicle body. However, the galvanized coatings commonly used on AHSS result in electrode surface degradation during welding. In this study, the electrode degradation and its effect on the mechanical properties of welded steel …
