The book begins with thorough coverage of Resistance Spot Welding fundamentals and principles, including concepts such as Lobe Curves, contact resistance vs. electrode force, dynamic resistance, heat balance challenges, nugget growth, machine types and power supplies, and electrodes. Subsequent chapters address challenges and approaches to important topics of welding advanced high-strength steels, such as DP, TRIP, TWIP, and Press Hardening Steel, as well as aluminum alloys. Welding issues associated with the various coatings used on these steels are addressed. The final chapters are dedicated to weld quality, monitoring, testing, computational modeling, and common automotive production issues such as the welding of multiple sheet stack-ups and a brief overview of associated codes and standards. The second edition includes updated chapters and additional information, such as expanded information on welding aluminum to steel, a new section on alternative welding and joining methods, and updates on monitoring and control as well as welding issues associated with the latest advanced high-strength steels.

lt;p>Menachem Kimchi is an Associate Professor of Practice in the Department of Material Science & Engineering, Welding Engineering Program at The Ohio State University. Previously, Menachem was a principal research engineer, technology leader, and business development manager for EWI Manufacturing. Menachem has been involved extensively with research and development projects for the Automotive and Steel industries and published over 100 technical papers in the areas of Resistance and Solid State Welding processes of advanced materials. He has also served on AWS Resistance Welding and Automotive committees, and chaired the IIW Sub-commission on Resistance Welding.

Dr. David Phillips is a Professor of Practice in the Welding Engineering program at The Ohio State University. After completing his Master's degree in Welding Engineering in 1986, he spent approximately 20 years in industry, with most of his experience in the aerospace and automotive sectors. David then earned his Ph.D. in Welding Engineering and began teaching at Ohio State in 2008 where he now teaches a variety of welding processes and weld metallurgy courses from sophomore to graduate level. David is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Welding Engineering, an International Welding Engineer (I.W.E.), and was a Certified Welding Inspector (C.W.I.) for 12 years. He is also the author of a recently published textbook titled Welding Engineering: An Introduction.
