Spot Welding Parameters Basic Calculation

๐ธ = 0.241๐‘ƒ๐‘กw .........................(1) where E : Energy (J)

*Calculation for AC spot welding P : Power (W) tw : Weld time (sec) = 0.241๐ผ2๐‘…๐‘กw .........................(2) where I : Welding Current (A) R : Panel Contact Resistance (ฮฉ) = JvSL .........................(3) where Jv : Melting energy (J/mm3) S : Surface contact (mm2)

L : Total plate thickness combination (mm)

= Jv[ฯ€๐‘‘2

4]L ........................(4) where d : Required nugget diameter (mm)

Since ๐‘‘ = 4 ๐‘กmin for general spot point

= 5 ๐‘กmin for important spot point

Where ๐‘กmin : Min thickness of panel combinations

So, 0.241๐ผ2๐‘…๐‘ก = Jv[ฯ€(4 ๐‘กmin)2

4]L .......(5) Combination eqn (2) & eqn (4)

= Jv[ฯ€4๐‘กmin]]L .............(6)

Final equation;

๐ผ = Jv[ฯ€4๐‘กmin]]L

0.241๐‘…๐‘กw

....................(8) *Used for specific required nugget diameter

Note :

Steel type Melting Energy Contact Resistance

Low Carbon Steel 9.7 J/mm3 100 ฮผฮฉ

Aluminum 2.9 J/mm3 75 ฮผฮฉ

Replace ๐ธ = 0.241๐‘ƒ๐‘กw to ๐ธ = 0.37๐‘ƒ๐‘กw for MFDC / DC spot welding calculation

๐นw = 250๐‘กmin .............................(9) where ๐นw = Welding Force (kg) - target

*Go to Quadratic approximation for best data fitting (refer reference) โ€“ No 11

๐‘กw = 10๐‘กmin .............................(10) where ๐‘กw = Weld time (cycle) โ€“ 50 hz

๐‘กhold = 3 ~ 5 ๐‘๐‘ฆ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’๐‘ .................... where ๐‘กhold = Hold time (cycle) โ€“ 50 hz

*๐‘กsqueeze - Pneumatic Gun : Min 17 cycle โ€“ Min time require for applied force to stable at 80%

- Servo Gun (robot) : 0 cycles โ€“ Using integrated robot function (robot will send

signal once applied force is stable to welding

controller)

Servo Gun : 4 cycle โ€“ Min time require for applied force to stable

Using derived formulas as above, the new plot (yellow & blue colours) are published against original

welding chart to confirm the accuracy of the formulas. Also, the Lobe Curve estimator was

programmed to view weldability region as following sample;
