Abstract
AbstractThis paper explores the resistance spot weldability of three martensitic (MS) steels of 1500 MPa tensile strength. A weld diameter versus current plot was developed for the three MS steels to investigate their weldable current range and expulsion characteristics. The mechanical performance of the welds was investigated using cross-tension, tensile-shear and hardness tests. It was found that the differences in electrical resistivity during the nugget growth period influenced the expulsion limit and, consequently, the weldable current range. The three MS steels failed in pullout failure mode but exhibited different plug ratios. Finally, the mechanical strength of the three MS steels was observed to be better than the other advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) such as DP600, TRIP1000 and PHS1500 steels.KEYWORDS: Advanced high strength steelweldabilitymartensiteliquation crackmartensitic steelprior austenite grain sizeexpulsion AcknowledgementThe authors are very grateful to Mercedes-Benz AG for financially supporting this research.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by MBUSI.
期刊介绍:
Science and Technology of Welding and Joining is an international peer-reviewed journal covering both the basic science and applied technology of welding and joining.
Its comprehensive scope encompasses all welding and joining techniques (brazing, soldering, mechanical joining, etc.) and aspects such as characterisation of heat sources, mathematical modelling of transport phenomena, weld pool solidification, phase transformations in weldments, microstructure-property relationships, welding processes, weld sensing, control and automation, neural network applications, and joining of advanced materials, including plastics and composites.
