Abstract
Micro-resistance spot weldability of nickel free stainless steel sheet was studied to fabricate
medical implants. Weld lobe was established and the effect of welding parameters on joint strength
was investigated. Weld nugget represented a rapidly quenched austenitic cellular structure whose cell
size is several μm with a little ferrite. The amount of δ-ferrite in weld nugget is smaller than that
predicted by some Schaefller diagrams due to rapid solidification during micro-resistance spot
welding.
