TEMA

Property Fields(1)In TEMA a numeric search for a specific set of physical properties (/PHP) is available within the text fields (TI,
AB, BI). The numeric values are not displayed as single fields but highlighted within the hit displays.
EXPAND in the PHP field (e.g., = > E A/PHP) to see all available physical properties. Use EXPAND/PHP tosearch for all available physical properties. A search with the respective field codes will be carried out in all
database fields with English text. The /PHP index contains a complete list of codes and related text for all
physical properties available for numeric search.

(1) Hit may be used to restrict extracted terms to terms that match the search expression used to create the answer set, e.g., SEL HIT TI.
(2) Appends /BI to the terms created by SELECT.
(3) SELECT or ANALYZE CIT allows you to extract the reference from the source documents in this file and have them automaticallyconverted to a citation format for searching in the SCISEARCH file. SEL or ANALYZE CIT extracts first author, publication year,
volume, first page, with a truncation symbol and with /RE appended to the terms created by SELECT.
(4) SELECT HIT or ANALYZE HIT is not valid with this field.
(5) Selects ISBN and ISN with /SO appended to the terms created by SELECT.

For several decades, the electrical resistance spot welding process has
been widely used in the manufacturing of sheet metal structures,
especially in automotive bodies. During this period there was no
significant development for this welding process. However, in recent
years, in order to meet the demand for lighter, economical, and low-cost
vehicles, the automotive manufacturing industry is undergoing a
revolution in the use of high strength steel sheet combinations, chemicalcompositions, and of different thicknesses. In this context, the present
work focuses on the study and development of a new resistant spot welding
technology using additive manufacturing (AMSW) in
zinc-coated steel sheets, used in the automotive industry. As acomparison, spot welding was also performed by the conventional
resistance spot welding process (RSW). The results showed that the spot
welding process using additive manufacturing (AMSW), through the
optimized parameters, compared to the conventional resistance spot
welding process (RSW), was 34.47% higher in relation to the shear
tensile stress, as well as 28.57% higher tensile stress with aperpendicular load to the weld spot. The indentation or thermomechanicalmark on the surface of the sheet was imperceptible to the visualinspection, producing a smooth face in the spot region.
