Abstract
Electric resistance spot welding is a state of the process of joining metallics for a number of industrial and home purposes. Because of its better corrosion resistance, stainless steel is employed. The strength of a spot weld is determined by a variety of process variables. An experimental research of electric resistance spot welding of austenitic AISI 304 commercially available stainless steel is presented in this work. Welding current, welding time, and electrode diameter were all taken into account. The welded specimens were prepared based on ISO 14273:2001 standard. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was employed for ERSW experiments. The influence of process factors on tensile load was investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Based on the study it was found out that welding current influences the tensile load significantly followed by welding time and electrode diameter.
