Resistance welding - Weldability - Part 1: Assessment of weldability for resistance spot, seam and projection welding of metallic materials (ISO 18278-1:2004)

This European Standard recommends procedures for determining the generic weldability for resistance spot, seam and projection welding of metallic materials.
This procedures is applicable for the assessment of the weldability of uncoated/coated steels, stainless steels and non-ferrous alloys such as aluminium, titanium, magnesium and nickel and their alloys of single thickness lower than or equal to 5 mm.
The weldability of metallic materials in resistance welding is defined in terms of:
- the ability to make the weld in the first place;
- the ability to continue making welds;
- the ability of the weld to withstand the imposed service stresses.
The procedures recommended in this standard can be used to:
- compare the weldability of different metallic materials;
- compare the welding response of a particular welding equipment and allow comparisons between different equipment and determine the influence of the static/dynamic properties of different welding equipment;
- determine the weldability of a material when any welding configuration is changed e.g. electrode material and/or shape, water cooling requirements etc.;
- investigate the effect of welding parameters such as welding current, weld time, electrode force or complex welding schedules including pulse welding, current stepping etc. on weldability.

Widerstandsschweißen - Schweißeignung - Teil 1: Bewerten der Schweißeignung zum Widerstandspunkt-, Rollennaht- und Buckelschweißen von metallischen Werkstoffen (ISO 18278-1:2004)

Diese Europäische Norm empfiehlt Verfahren für das grundsätzliche Bestimmen der Schweißeignung für das Widerstandspunkt-, Rollennaht- und Buckelschweißen von metallischen Werkstoffen.
Diese Verfahren sind anwendbar für das Bewerten der Schweißeignung von unbeschichtete/beschichtete Stähle, nicht rostende Stähle und Nichteisenmetallen wie Aluminium, Titan, Magnesium und Nickel sowie ihren Legierungen bei einer Einzeldicke kleiner oder gleich 5 mm.
Die Schweißeignung von metallischen Werkstoffen zum Widerstandsschweißen ist definiert durch:
- als erstes, die Fähigkeit die Schweißung herzustellen;
- die Fähigkeit die Schweißungen fortlaufend herzustellen;
- die Fähigkeit der Schweißung den auftretenden Betriebsbelastungen zu widerstehen.
Die in dieser Norm empfohlenen Verfahren können verwendet werden für:
- den Vergleich der Schweißeignung von verschiedenen metallischen Werkstoffen;
- den Vergleich des Schweißverhaltens einer einzelnen Schweißeinrichtung und ermöglicht Vergleiche zwischen verschiedenen Einrichtungen sowie für das Bestimmen des Einflusses der statischen/dynamischen Eigen-schaften von verschiedenen Schweißeinrichtungen;
- das Bestimmen der Schweißeignung eines Werkstoffs, wenn irgendein Teil der Schweißeinrichtung geändert wird, z. B. der Elektrodenwerkstoff und/oder dessen Form, Anforderungen an die Wasserkühlung usw.;
- das Untersuchen des Einflusses der Schweißparameter auf die Schweißeignung wie Schweißstrom, Schweißzeit, Elektrodenkraft oder komplizierte Schweißprogramme einschließlich Mehrimpulsschweißen, Stepperfunktionen für den Schweißstrom usw.

Soudage par résistance - Soudabilité - Partie 1 : Évaluation de la soudabilité pour le soudage par résistance par points, a la molette et par bossages des matériaux métalliques (ISO 18278-1:2004)

La présente Norme Européenne recommande les procédures a utiliser pour la détermination de la soudabilité des matériaux métalliques en soudage par résistance par points, a la molette et par bossages des matériaux métalliques.
Ces procédures sont applicables a l'évaluation de la soudabilité des aciers revetus ou non revetus, des aciers inoxydables et des alliages non ferreux tels que l'aluminium, le titane, le magnésium et le nickel ainsi qu'a leurs alliages en simple épaisseur inférieure ou égale a 5 mm.
La soudabilité des matériaux métalliques en soudage par résistance est définie en termes de :
- aptitude a l'exécution d'une premiere soudure ;
- aptitude a la poursuite de l'exécution des soudures ;
- aptitude de la soudure a supporter les contraintes de services imposées.
Les procédures recommandées dans la présente norme peuvent etre utilisées afin de :
- comparer la soudabilité de différents matériaux métalliques ;
- comparer le comportement lors du soudage d'un matériel de soudage particulier et de permettre la comparaison entre différents matériels et déterminer l'influence des caractéristiques statique et dynamique de différents matériels de soudage ;
- déterminer la soudabilité d'un matériau lorsque la configuration du soudage est modifiée, par exemple matériau et/ou forme de l'électrode, exigences relatives au refroidissement par eau, etc. ;
- étudier les effets des parametres de soudage tels que le courant de soudage, le temps de soudage, la force de soudage ou les programmes de soudage complexes incluant le soudage avec pulsations, les courants étagés, etc.
