Abstract:Advanced high strength steel (AHSS) has been widely used in the automobile industry.The resistance spot welding performance of DP980 and Q&P980 steels was studied through comparing the two steels’welding current range,tensile shear strength (TSS),cross tension strength (CTS),weld spots’microhardness,etc.The following conclusions were achieved:It is easy for both DP980 and Q&P980 steels to get a nugget size bigger than 4 mm,they all have welding current ranges exceeding 2 kA and high weld strength.
