Abstract

Resistance spot welding (RSM) is widely used to join similar or dissimilar sheet metals in automobile industry. It gives significant strength after joining, required for sustaining the load applied on it. Strength of the spot weld mainly depends on welding current, pressure applied during welding and weld time. In this paper, study on effect of process parameters levels for joining of galvanized iron sheet is carried out. Design of experiments is carried out by taguchi method and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is done to find most significant process parameter for tensile strength and nugget diameter as response variable. S/N ratio and ANOVA table for tensile strength and nugget diameter are calculated by using Minitab 16 software.
