Abstract
Weldability and electrode life tests were performed on a range of spot welded zinc coated steels and it was concluded that variations in coating weight, composition and surface finish caused little significant change in either welding characteristics or electrode life.Simple dynamic-resistance monitoring techniques were assessed and were found to be unacceptable for most of these materials when based on a single, maximum-deviation criterion for rejection.
However, a new method has been developed for the statistical assessment of monitor reliability.
