Liquid Metal Embrittlement of Resistance Spot Welded 1180 TRIP Steel: Effect of Electrode Force on Cracking Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) caused cracking of Galvanized transformation induced plasticity steels was investigatedduring resistance spot welding (RSW). Effect of electrode force (3–5 kN) for a weld time of 400, and 800 ms on crack resistanceof TRIP steel was examined in relation to LME phenomenon. The microstructural characteristics of spot weld jointsand LME cracking tendency were investigated using dye penetration tests, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopytogether with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. It was found that as the electrode force increases, the crack size decreasesdue to a fast increase in crack tip temperature which rises further with more holding time up to 800 ms in high temperaturezone. Least amount of crack size was observed at 5 kN electrode force and 400 ms of welding time. Finally, the experimentalresults have also been simulated by finite element modeling (FEM) to find suitable mechanism of crack formation, and acombination of 4 kN and 400 ms was suggested for the crack free and less thermal deformation in the spot welded TRIP steel.
