Abstract
In this study, the correlation between dynamic resistance during the first 10 ms of welding time and the electrode surface condition in resistance spot welding of 5182 aluminum alloy has been investigated. The electrode surface rapidly degrades due to contamination and morphological changes, adversely affecting the weld spot surface. The accumulation of Cu-Al intermetallic phases on the electrode surface alters its roughness, leading to variations in dynamic resistance. By analyzing this correlation, optimal electrode milling intervals were identified to extend electrode life. This work focused on detecting crater formation on the electrode surface through dynamic resistance monitoring. The results indicate that resistance measurements provide a reliable approach for evaluating electrode wear, optimizing maintenance schedules, and reducing material removal during milling.
