Resistance spot welding - Destructive tests of welds - Method for the fatigue testing of spot welded joints (ISO 14324:2003)
ISO 14324:2003 specifies test specimens and procedures for fatigue testing spot welds, at ambient conditions, under repeated tensile loading to produce either shear or cross-tension loading of the spot weld, in steel of sheet thicknesses of 0,5 mm to 6 mm. The test results are not, in general, directly applicable to the fatigue behaviour of a spot-welded component or structure. This procedure can be used for other materials provided proper test conditions (e.g., heating) have been determined.
Widerstandspunktschweißen - Zerstörende Prüfung von Schweißungen - Schwingfestigkeitsprüfung von Punktschweißverbindungen (ISO 14324:2003)
Diese Norm beschreibt Proben und Verfahren für das Prüfen der Schwingfestigkeit von Punktschweißverbindungen bei Raumtemperatur unter wiederholten Zugbeanspruchungen, um entweder Scherzug- oder Kopfzugbean-spruchungen von Punktschweißverbindungen an Stahlblechen mit Dicken von 0,5 mm bis 6 mm herbeizuführen. Die Prüfergebnisse sind im Allgemeinen nicht direkt auf die Schwingfestigkeit von punktgeschweißten Baugruppen oder Bauteilen übertragbar. Dieses Verfahren kann für andere Werkstoffe angewendet werden, wenn geeignete Prüfbedingungen (z. B. Wärmen) festgelegt worden sind.
Soudage par résistance - Essais destructifs des soudures - Méthode pour les essais de fatigue sur assemblages soudés par points (ISO 14324:2003)
L'ISO 14324:2003 spécifie les éprouvettes et les modes opératoires des essais de fatigue sur des éprouvettes en croix soudées par résistance par points, à la température ambiante, soumises à des efforts de traction répétés en vue d'entraîner soit un cisaillement, soit en effort de traction du joint soudé par points, pour des tôles d'acier d'une épaisseur comprise entre 0,5 mm et 6 mm. En règle générale, les résultats des essais ne sont pas directement applicables au comportement en fatigue d'un composant ou d'une structure soudée par points. Ce mode opératoire peut s'appliquer à d'autres matériaux si les conditions d'essai adéquates (par exemple traitement thermique) ont été déterminées.

Overview
EN ISO 14324:2003 (Resistance spot welding - Destructive tests of welds - Method for the fatigue testing of spot welded joints) defines standardized test specimens and procedures for the fatigue testing of spot welds. It covers ambient-condition, repeated tensile loading that produces either shear or cross‑tension loading of spot welded joints in steel sheet thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 6 mm. The standard clarifies that laboratory fatigue results are generally not directly transferable to full component fatigue behavior and may be adapted for other materials only after suitable test conditions (e.g., heating) are established.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test specimen design: Detailed shapes and dimensions for shear and cross‑tension specimens are provided (figures and tables in the standard). Specimen geometry, overlap and clamping lengths are specified to control stress distribution around the spot weld.
- Test sheets and fabrication: Requirements for sheet condition (deburring, flatness) and spot‑welding jig/alignment tolerances (eccentricity limits) to ensure repeatability.
- Fatigue test methods: Procedures for shear fatigue tests and cross‑tension fatigue tests using repeated tensile loading; definitions of load parameters (load range ΔL, load ratio R, mean load Lm, load amplitude La) and the L–N (load-range vs. cycles) relationship.
- Testing machine and instrumentation: Machine load accuracy requirements (maximum error limits), clamping capabilities, recording of mean load and load range (or max/min loads), and features to prevent automatic restart after power interruption.
- Clamping and jigs: Guidance on specimen alignment in the test machine, use of shims to avoid bending, and jig geometry to ensure the chamfered clamp faces are positioned correctly.
- Data analysis and reporting: Determination and presentation of L–N data, monitoring of crack development, test termination criteria, and required test report items.
Practical applications and users
- Typical users: welding engineers, fatigue test laboratories, quality assurance teams, R&D engineers in automotive, aerospace, appliance and general metal fabrication industries.
- Use cases:
- Compare fatigue performance of different spot‑weld parameters, electrode designs or sheet materials.
- Validate manufacturing process changes that affect spot‑weld integrity.
- Support failure investigations and materials research on spot-weld durability.
- Note: For component-level fatigue assessment, combine EN ISO 14324 test data with structural analysis or component-specific tests.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 14324 was prepared in collaboration with the International Institute of Welding
which has been approved by the ISO Council as an international standardizing body in the field of welding.

Resistance spot welding — Destructive tests of welds —
Method for the fatigue testing of spot welded joints
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies test specimens and procedures for fatigue testing spot welds, at ambient
conditions, under repeated tensile loading to produce either shear or cross-tension loading of the spot weld, in
steel of sheet thicknesses of 0,5 mm to 6 mm. The test results are not, in general, directly applicable to the
fatigue behaviour of a spot-welded component or structure. This procedure can be used for other materials
provided proper test conditions (e.g., heating) have been determined.
