Definitions

  • This invention relates, in general, to resistance spot welding and, more specifically to the process of resistance spot welding and its associated equipment. More particularly, the present invention concerns the decontamination of the work piece surface prior to welding to enable creation of an acceptable resistance spot weld. Even more particularly, the present invention concerns the apparatus used for both preparing the work piece surface for welding and for producing a spot weld.
  • Resistance spot welding is used extensively throughout the durable goods and metal fabrication industries for joining sheet metal, including both coated and non-coated steel, as well as non-ferrous metals. It is used to join together two or more thin sheet pieces of metal by electrically inducing localized fusion of the metal, i.e., a weld.
  • the spot welding process generally involves clamping together the metal pieces or work pieces to be joined, between two axially aligned electrodes and applying high pressure thereto. Then, a high electrical current is passed between the electrodes and the metal pieces. Any resistance point or location in the path of the current becomes heated. With respect to the work pieces, the resistive points, become heated and fused together.
  • Resistance welding electrodes are typically made from a relatively low cost high conductivity copper alloy. These copper alloy electrodes serve three essential functions in the welding process: (1 ) they provide a conduit for carrying a high electrical current to a work piece without significant heating (Joule) losses due to their low electrical resistance; (2) their high thermal conductivity provides a method for conducting heat from the work piece and controlling the cool down process, thereby promoting weld nugget formation and, (3) they properly locate and clamp the work pieces together to establish a good interface and good electrical contact before the weld current is applied. [0006] In general, there are two areas in the weld current circuit where the electrical resistance is high enough to generate substantial amounts of heat.
  • the lower of the two areas is at the interface between the electrodes and an associated work piece and, the higher is at the interface (faying surfaces) between the metal pieces.
  • the resistivity of the copper electrodes is much lower than the metal to be joined. Therefore, the greatest amount of heat is generated at the faying surfaces between the sheet metal components. This is true for most metals except for aluminum.
  • the thermal capacity of the electrodes is, as a rule, not sufficient to take up the relatively large quantities of electrical heat falling to the external layers of oxide, without heating the electrode contact surfaces to temperatures above the "alloying on” temperature.
  • the reasons for this are, first, because heating the metal and the internal layers of oxide to the welding temperature requires, due to the relatively small amounts of electrical heat in these areas, either a correspondingly higher welding current or a correspondingly longer welding time. Therefore, relatively high values of the welding current and welding time are added to the relatively large amounts of electrical heat in the external layers of oxide.
  • the welding apparatus as disclosed in the above aforementioned patents, can be used only in conjunction with a pedestal welder.
  • a pedestal welder is fixed equipment, which is totally inappropriate for use in current high volume automobile assembly operations.
  • Modern high volume motor vehicle production employs portable spot weld guns that can be used in either manual or robotic applications.
  • Standard conventional vehicle design in the interests of material and weight conservation, keeps weld flanges narrow. This necessitates using a welding apparatus with a minimum size tool envelope.
  • the present invention provides a compact, low cost apparatus, accommodating the aluminum surface preparation process, with the capability of producing a follow up weld, dimensionally applicable for automotive use, readily adaptable to current weld gun construction and possessing enhanced cooling characteristics.
  • the present invention provides a spot welding apparatus which prepares an aluminum surface to be welded prior to electrode contact and enhances the electrode cooling characteristics as well as energy utilization thereby extending electrode life and promoting improved weld quality.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a fluted electrode shank and an internally finned fluted electrode cap assembly, each of the shank and cap being fluted along their external bodies and in fluid communication with a gas delivery tube for delivering an inert gas to an aluminum work piece surface.
  • the shank/cap assembly is, instead, based on a standard, commercially available electrode shank/electrode combination in fluid communication with a gas delivery tube having a fluted inner wall.
