<br/><br/>Preface -- Introduction to Resistance Spot Welding -- Resistance Spot Welding Process Physics and Fundamentals -- Resistance Spot Welding Machings, Electrodes, and Tooling -- Resistance Spot Welding of Modern Steels -- Resistance Spot Welding of Coated Advanced High-Strength Steels -- Design and Weld Strength Considerations for Resistance Spot Welding -- Resistance Spot Welding Quality, Testing, Monitoring, and Control -- Resistance Spot Welding Production Issues -- Overview of Resistance Spot Welding Codes and Standards -- Author Biographies. 
<br/><br/> The early chapters of this book provide thorough coverage of resistance spot welding fundamentals and principles. Topics covered include lobe and current range curves, contact resistance vs. electrode force, dynamic resistance, heat balance, nugget growth, etc. Equipment issues such as machine types, power supplies, and electrodes are addressed. Subsequent chapters focus on specific spot welding challenges to modern automotive manufacturing. Approaches to welding modern materials including advanced high-strength steels, coated steels, and aluminum alloys are covered in much detail. The final chapters focus on many common production and quality control issues, such as electrode wear, monitoring and testing, computational modeling, and welding codes. The overall goal of the book is to provide a comprehensive resource for automotive engineers and technicians who work with modern spot welding equipment and automotive materials.
