The failure mechanism of resistance spot welded third-generation medium-Mn steel during shear-tension loading
Abstract
Medium-Mn (M-Mn) steels have received considerable attention in the automotive industry due to their superior mechanical properties such as high strength to weight ratio. However, resistance spot welding of M-Mn steels is a problematic issue, mainly due to the occurrence of interfacial failure (IF) mode with low energy absorption capability during different loading conditions. Despite some efforts to understand the failure behavior of M-Mn …
