Abstract

Combinations of dissimilar materials have recently been gaining great interest from researchers and production facilities. Because bonding between materials of different types will use their advantages. Therefore, researchers are always looking for ways to improve the quality of the joint between them. However, the quality of the welded joint depends a lot on the input parameters. So in this study, the authors have focused on using the Taguchi method to optimize the resistance spot welding parameters of the welding joint between AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy and SS400 low carbon steel. According to the Taguchi design, an orthogonal L9 array was created for the experiment process with input parameters and their levels. Through the analysis results of Taguchi and ANOVA showed that the resistance spot welding method is a suitable choice for the welding process between two different materials with the optimal set of parameters included: Ih = 3000 (A); F = 20 (psi); Th = 5 (s). Welding current is a parameter that has the greatest influence on output characteristics and electrode force is the parameter with the lowest impact, with the contribution of each parameter in turn Ih = 50,79%; F = 14,07%; and Th = 30%.
