Under the influence of heat load and Zn diffusion in resistance spot welding of galvanized steel sheets, significant changes occur on the contact area of CuCrZr welding electrodes which lead to their erosion damage. Changes, causing wear of electrodes not only affect the welding process but also the quality and properties of the weld. Apart from the traditional solution (for example, the so-called "Slope" welding current) the wear of the contact surfaces can be affected by using the barrier layers -coatings. Main goal for the use of material barrier is to minimize the structural changes caused by Zn diffusion, erosion and higher heat resistance of the electrode. Recent studies have shown that such a suitable coating is a multilayer system (Ni/TiB2). This paper is focused on the assessment of changes in the contact area of the electrodes and the barrier layer Ni / TiB2 after compila-tion 0, 1, 5, 20 and 100 welds on galvanized steel sheets type HX220BD Z100MBO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
