Özet
Usage of UHSS (ultra high-strength steels) had increased in recent years, automobile Body in White-BIW- manufacturers had faced the challenge of choosing between two types of currents for resistance spot welding equipment The objective of this work is to compare the effects ofwelds obtained from both AC and MFDC (alternate current-AC- power source and medium frequency constant current one-MFDC) machines on mechanical performance. Two different welding equipment had been used for making joints between as-delivered 22MnB5 and DP600 steel sheets. The micro-hardness results, tensile shear (TS) and cross tension (CT) tests of resistance spot welded (RSW) joints between as - delivered (22MnB5) and double phase (DP600) steels for both AC and MFDC process are detailed. According to the results, comparatively lower hardness values were observed in the weld metal and heat effected zones of the welded samples obtained by MFDC technology compared to AC technology. The positive effect was observed in the strength and elongation values of the samples welded with MFDC technology according to AC technology. When the CT and TS test results were evaluated, more than 5% improvement is observed on welded samples with MFDC technology. The originality of this paper presents a comparative study of joint performance properties effect for both AC and MFDC process on dissimilar joints between as-delivered 22MnB5 and DP600.
