    Abstract: A resistance spot welding method with which a nugget of an appropriate diameter can be obtained without splashing regardless of disturbances such as a sheet gap or current shunting in a sheet combination with a high sheet thickness ratio in which a thin sheet is overlapped on one face of two or more overlapping thick sheets is provided. The resistance spot welding method includes performing actual welding to squeeze, by a pair of electrodes (14), a sheet combination with a sheet thickness ratio of more than 3 in which a thin sheet (11) is overlapped on at least one face of two or more overlapping thick sheets (12, 13), and passing a current while applying an electrode force to join the sheet combination, wherein in the actual welding, a pattern of the current and the electrode force is divided into two or more steps including a first step and a second step to perform welding, and an electrode force F1 in the first step and an electrode force F2 in the second step satisfy a relationship F 1 > F 2.

    Abstract: Resistance spot welding is performed on a combination of overlapping steel sheets including at least one steel sheet that has, on a surface thereof, a coated layer with zinc as a main component, by (1) starting electric current passage in a state satisfying 0.9 × t ‰¤ L ‰¤ 1.1 × t, where t is the total thickness of the overlapping steel sheets and L is the distance between tips of upper and lower electrodes; and (2) dividing electric current into main current and initial current that precedes the main current and is two-step current, setting a current value I 1 during current in a first step of the initial current to satisfy I m × 1.1 ‰¤ I 1 ‰¤ 15.0 kA with respect to a current value I m during the main current, and setting a current value I 2 in the subsequent second step to no current or low current satisfying 0 ‰¤ I 2 ‰¤ I m × 0.7, thereby stably forming a nugget of sufficient diameter, without the occurrence of splashing.

    Abstract: Proposed is a method of resistance spot welding to join a plurality of overlapping metal sheets, including: dividing a current pattern into two or more steps for welding; before actual welding, performing test welding to store, for each step as a target value, a time variation of an instantaneous amount of heat generated per unit volume and a cumulative amount of heat generated per unit volume that are calculated from an electrical property between electrodes when forming an appropriate nugget by passing current with constant current control; and subsequently, as actual welding, starting welding using, as a standard, a time variation curve of the instantaneous amount of heat generated per unit volume obtained by the test welding, and when a time variation amount of an instantaneous amount of heat generated deviates during any step from the time variation curve by a difference, performing adaptive control welding to control a current passage amount in order to compensate for the difference during a remaining welding time in the step so as to match a cumulative amount of heat generated in the actual welding to the cumulative amount of heat generated that is determined in advance in the test welding. This method thus effectively addresses wear of the electrode tip and the presence of a disturbance and obtains a good nugget.

    Abstract: A resistance spot welding method is provided, which allows a large nugget to be formed while the occurrence of expulsion is prevented. The resistance spot welding device according to the present invention is a resistance spot welding device for welding at least two overlapping steel sheets held between a pair of welding electrodes. The resistance spot welding device includes the pair of electrodes, an electrode force gauge that measures an electrode force, and a controller that controls an electric current supply to the electrodes according to the electrode force measured by the electrode force gauge. The controller controls the electric current such that the electrode force F measured by the electrode force gauge after the start of the electric current supply is adjusted to a prescribed value.
