Dynamic Resistance Monitoring in Primary Circuit during Resistatnce Spot Welding

저항 점용접의 1차 회로 동저항 모니처링에 관한 연구

The dynamic resistance monitoring in primary circuit or T/C is one of the important issues in that in-process and real time quality assurance of resistance spot weld is needed to increase the product reliability. It is well known that tile dynamic resistance curve gives us very useful information about nugget growth and weldability. In the present paper, a new dynamic resistance detecting method is presented as a practical manner of weld quality assurance using instantaneous current and voltage measured by primary circuit. Primary dynamic resistance patterns are basically similar to those of the secondary, but there is evident advantage such as no extra devices are needed to obtain the quality assurance index and eventually feedback control will be possible caused by T/C based monitoring system.
