Spot Welding of Aluminium within Automotive Applications

Sheets made of aluminum can also be joined to one another using resistance spot welding. Challenging is the higher electrical conductivity. The thermal conductivity also differs from steel. This requires a fundamental increase in the electrical current. When spot welding aluminum, deviating conditions, such as shunt effects or varying surfaces, can lead to irregular results. Also the aluminum oxide will have an impact on the resulting weld outcome. Due to the material properties of aluminium, we can summarize the following challenges:

Challenge: Solution:
- Low electrical resistance High currents
- High thermal conductivity Short process times
- Oxidizing surfaces Variable start conditions
- Mandatory clean electrodes Regular electrode cap cleaning
