Abstract
The present paper reports experimental investigations on the spot welding of commercial aluminum sheets. Experiments were carried out to study the influence of spot welding parameters (welding current, welding time, electrode force and sheet thickness) on the strength of spot welded aluminum sheets with commercial purity.
Experiments were carried out on the basis of response surface methodology (RSM) technique. The mathematical models (failure load and nugget area) correlating process parameters and their interactions with response parameters have been established. These models have been used in selecting the optimum process parameters for obtaining the desired spot welding quality at the least possible consumed power.
