Abstract

Magnesium alloy AZ31B sheets were welded using the technique of resistance spot welding with cover plates. The effects of electrode force on the joining performance and pore formation during welding were investigated. The results reveal that the enhanced electrode force is an effective way to inhibit pore formation and improve magnesium alloy resistance spot welding performance.
