Patent ID: 11911837

Abstract:
A resistance spot welding method comprises: performing test welding; and performing actual welding after the test welding, wherein the test welding is performed under each of two or more welding conditions. In the test welding, for each of the welding conditions, an electrode force parameter from when electrode force application to parts to be welded starts to when a set electrode force is reached before start of current passage and a time variation curve of an instantaneous amount of heat generated and a cumulative amount of heat generated are stored. In the actual welding: electrode force application to the parts to be welded is performed under each of the same conditions as in the test welding before start of current passage, and a corresponding electrode force parameter and the parameter stored in the test welding are compared for each of the welding conditions to set a target of a time variation curve of an instantaneous amount of heat generated and a cumulative amount of heat generated in the actual welding; and adaptive control welding is performed to control a current passage amount according to the target.
