Effects of electrode pitting morphology on resistance spot welding of aluminum alloy
Abstract
The effects of two types of electrode pitting morphologies, ring type and hole type on resistance spot welding of aluminum alloy 5182 were investigated by the combination of finite element analysis and physical modeling methods. Results showed that when using ring pitting electrode, the contact radius at faying surface is increased while the current distribution is not affected notably, and the nugget diameter is increased. When using hole …
