Abstract

Fatigue resistance is influenced by porosity and residual stress in welded joints. Fatigue failure in some means of transportation is caused by the inability to withstand the load received from the car body and passengers while operating. This study uses a systematic literature review (SLR) method to identify the effect of vibration welding on porosity and residual stress. Vibration can reduce the empty cavity (porosity) and increase the density of the weld. The ultrasonic vibration spot resistance (UVSR) method with 20 kHz on AA6082 is able to reduce residual stress up to 53% and is effective for homogenization of concentrated residual stress up to 57%.

Abstract

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is being applied extensively in different industries, specifically the automotive sector. Therefore, this study was conducted to optimize the tensile strength load (TSL) in RSW by investigating the application of dissimilar materials as input parameters. The optimization process involved the combination of different galvanized and non-galvanized steel materials. The production of car bodies using galvanized steel with approximately 13.0 microns thick zinc (Zn) coating was found to be a standard practice, but this zinc layer usually presents challenges due to the poor weldability. This study prepared 27 units of TSL samples using a spot-welding machine and a pressure force system (PFS) for the electrode tip. The aim was to determine the optimal TSL through the exploration of specified RSW parameters. The process focused on using the response surface methodology (RSM) to achieve the desired outcome while the Box-Behnken design was applied to determine the input parameters. The optimal TSL obtained was 5265.15 N by setting the squeeze time to 21.0 cycles at a welding current of 24.5 kA, a welding time of 0.5 s, and a holding time of 15.0 cycles. The highest TSL value recorded was 5937.94 N at 21.0 cycles, 27.0 kA, 0.6 s, and 15.0 cycles respectively. These findings were considered significant to the enhancement of productivity across industries, specifically in the RSW process. However, further study was required to investigate additional response variables such as the changes in hardness and microstructure.
