The Identification of a New Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) Type in Resistance Spot Welding of Advanced High−Strength Steels on Reduced Flange Widths
Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracking is a phenomenon observed during resistance spot welding (RSW) of zinc−coated advanced high−strength steels (AHSS) in automotive manufacturing. In this study, severe cracks are observed at the edge of the sheet under reduced flange widths. These cracks, trave...
