Abstract
The occurrence of liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during the resistance spot-welding of a zinc-coated Advanced High-Strength Steel (TRIP-aided AHSS) is investigated in this work. Welds are generated using controlled degradation of the welding conditions to favor the occurrence of LME cracks in a two-sheets homogeneous configuration. Detailed inspection of the welds shows that electrode misalignment, short holding time, low electrode force and long welding time constitute a propitious environment for both inner and outer LME cracks. A statistical analysis allows weighting and interpreting of the significance of the welding parameters. Electrode misalignment and reduced holding time appear as the most influential parameters in the design of experiment. Moreover, it is worth noting that standard ISO welding conditions are prone to avoid any LME cracks in the investigated two-sheets homogeneous configuration.
