About the Book

High-performance steels and aluminum alloys pose significant challenges to resistance welding processes. Unfortunately for students in materials science, metallurgy, and manufacturing, most available books provide only a superficial treatment of resistance spot welding. Surveying the topic in a scientific and systematic manner, Resistance Welding: Fundamentals and Applications supplies practical insight into every aspect of the field. This book comprehensively examines every aspect of resistance welding, from metallurgy and fundamental physical processes, such as electrothermal processes and discontinuities, to mechanical testing, process monitoring and control, weld quality and inspection, expulsion, and numerical simulation. The authors consider the influence of mechanical characteristics of welding machines and emphasize statistical design, analysis, and inference in resistance welding research, enabling students to conduct their own investigations. They present state-of-the-art research results from their own studies as well as from other leading experts, and the text's many examples are derived from real experiments. Case studies and nearly 300 figures illustrate the concepts. Resistance Welding: Fundamentals and Applications imparts a fundamental understanding of resistance welding processes and phenomena that empowers students to approach high-performance steels, aluminum alloys, and other new materials with confidence. It is an ideal upper-level undergraduate or graduate text for courses in assembly and joining processes, fundamentals of welding, and manufacturing processes.

Review :
"[this book] will almost certainly find its way into the library of anyone who needs or wants to understand the physics behind resistance spot welding... [It offers] a detailed analysis of the physics involved in the resistance welding process that is, for the most part, remarkably easy to understand. This astounding feat is achieved through a novel exploitation of the differences in the way that aluminum and steel react during the resistance welding process. By dealing with the two materials in tandem, the authors are able to clearly show unique responses to the same welding variable. They have also reinforced their methodical explanations with nearly 300 original graphics...to reinforce concepts... [and] the material is well indexed so the book can be used as a quick reference. For both the student and process user, there is a lot of basic information presented in an easy-to-read fashion... For theoretical studies or laboratory work, there is a bounty of information beyond the excellent compilation of reference materials. It might be too soon to proclaim this work as historically significant, but it seems a virtual certainty that it will be viewed as such. In any case, the authors have certainly done a great service to the resistance welding industry." -David Beneteau, CenterLine Ltd., Windsor, Ontario, Canada, 2006
