Resumo

This paper describes a Single-Side resistance Spot Welding (SSSW) process which is expected to be a productive welding technology for the joining of stamped sheet panels to hollow parts for auto bodies. To obtain guidelines for making a sound weld with the SSSW process, the effects of welding parameters and the alignment of specimens on nugget growth are investigated experimentally. In addition, a numerical study is carried out to discuss the mechanism of nugget growth in the SSSW process.
