AI Technical Summary
Aluminum alloys are prone to forming a dense oxide layer during welding, which leads to unstable welding current conduction and rapid heat loss during welding, making it difficult to achieve high-quality, seamless spot welding.
An asymmetric electrode cap structure is adopted, including a first electrode cap and a second electrode cap. The first electrode cap is used for spot welding without leaving marks on the outer surface, and the second electrode cap has a central boss to pierce the oxide layer. It is combined with a welding method of graded current and segmented temperature control.
It achieves seamless spot welding on the surface, stable weld nugget formation, improved welding quality and strength, and reduced electrode cap wear and usage costs.
