Shunt effect in resistance spot welding

The shunt effect in resistance spot welding occurs when part of the welding current flows through previously made, closely spaced welds. This study investigates how the shunt effect behaves under different welding conditions.


SORPAS 3D Tutorial 4 – Peel Strength test of weld nugget

In this tutorial you see how to make a welding simulation and how to make a Peel strength test of the weld nugget using SORPAS® 3D. You have to test a lot of different parameters to find out if the formed nugget is acceptable for a certain application. Very often, welding engineers investigate the parameters … Continue reading

3D Case 2 – Tensile Shear Strength Testing

A lot of different parameters have to be testted regarding if the formed nugget is acceptable for the certain application. Parameters welding engineers often investigates are the mechanical properties of the nugget. To measure the mechanical properties different mechanical tests are used such as tensile strength test, cross tension test or hardness measurements. These tests … Continue reading
