Abstract
This work is aimed at the analysis of the dynamic resistance, electrical energy and behavior of the force between electrodes (including thermal expansion) during welding at optimized parameters, referring to the process of spot welding using additive manufacturing (AMSW). For comparative purposes, this analysis also includes the conventional resistance spot welding process (RSW). The experiments were done on low carbon-zinc-coated sheets used in the automotive industry. The results regarding the welding process using additive manufacturing (AMSW), in comparison to the conventional resistance spot welding (RSW), showed that the dynamic resistance presented a different behavior due to the collapse of the deposition at the beginning of the welding, and that a smaller magnitude of electrical energy (approximately <3.35 times) is required to produce a welding spot approved in accordance with the norm. No force of thermal expansion was observed during the passage of the current, in contrast, there was a decrease in the force between the electrodes due to the collapse of the deposition at the beginning of the welding.
