Taguchi method in determining the optimum spot welding parameters for automotive component

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is used for the fabrication of sheet metal assemblies. The process is used widely in the automotive structural application for many years in joining low carbon or "mild" steel. The mild steel also used for the unibody collision repair for the car body [1]. Th...
