Resistance spot welding (RSW) merupakan proses pengelasan yang sering digunakan untuk menyambung pelat logam umumnya pada industri otomotif dan penerbangan. Proses pengelasan RSW (Resistance Spot Welding) melibatkan fenomena kelistrikan, termal-mekanik, metalurgi, dan permukaan yang kompleks. Tidak seperti proses pengelasan lainnya, peristiwa terbentuknya sambungan las pada proses RSW terjadi sangat cepat (dalam mili-detik) dan mengambil tempat diantara benda kerja yang tumpang tindih satu sama lain. Simulasi pengelasan memungkinkan pemeriksaan visual terhadap sambungan las tanpa harus melakukan eksperimen yang mahal. Ukuran nugget las merupakan parameter yang paling penting dalam menentukan perilaku mekanik dari sambungan las RSW karena kualitas dan kekuatan sambungan las RSW secara dominan ditentukan oleh bentuk dan ukuran dari nugget las. Simulasi pemodelan proses pengelasan RSW dilakukan menggunakan modul ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) berbasis metode elemen hingga (finite element method) yang tersedia, dalam ANSYS. Interaksi elektrikal dan termal dikembangkan untuk mempelajari pertumbuhan nugget pada pengelasan pelat aluminium A1100 dengan ketebalan masing-masing 0.4 mm. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan model simulasi ini, ukuran diameter nugget dapat diprediksi dengan baik melalui distribusi temperatur yang terbentuk selama proses pengelasan berlangsung. Pengelasan dilakukan dengan membuat variasi pada pemberian kuat arus (1kA dan 2kA) dan waktu pengelasan untuk masing-masing kuat arus yaitu 0.5, 1.0, dan 1.5 CT (cycle time). Diamater nugget untuk masing-masing parameter pengelasan yang didapat melalui simulasi pemodelan adalah, 4.276 mm, 4.372 mm, 4.668 mm, 5.616 mm, dan 5.896 mm. Pada spesimen dengan kuat arus 2 kA dan waktu pengelasan 1.5 CT, weld expulsion terjadi dan ditandai dengan menurunnya kekuatan tarik-geser dari spesimen tersebut dalam eksperimen.

ABSTRAK
Resistance spot welding (RSW), generally which is one of the most often used to joint metal plate in the automotive and aviation industries. RSW welding process involves electrical, thermal-mechanical, metallurgy, and complex surface phenomenon. Unlike the other welding processes, weld joint formation in RSW process occurs very quick (in milli-seconds) and took place between the workpieces overlap each other. Welding simulation allows visual examination of the weld joint without having to perform an expensive experiment. Weld nugget size is the most important parameter in determining the mechanical behavior of welded joints in RSW process. The quality and strength of the weld joint in RSW process is predominantly determined by the shape and size of the weld nugget. Simulation modeling of RSW process performed using ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) module based on the finite element method (FEM), embedded in ANSYS Workbench. Electrical and transient-thermal interaction was developed to study the weld nugget growth on resistance spot welding of aluminum A1100 metal plate with a thickness of 0.4 mm respectively. Weld nugget diameter can be well predicted by using this simulation model from the temperature distribution during the welding process. Welding is performed by varying the weld current (1 kA and 2 kA) and the welding time for each electric current which are start from 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 cycle time. Nugget diameter for each of the welding parameters from the simulation modelling were 4,276 mm, 4,372 mm, 4,668 mm, 5,616 mm and 5,896 mm. Weld expulsion occurred for the specimen with welding current 2 kA and welding time 1.5 cycle time, characterized by the decreasing of the tensile-shear strength of the specimen.

Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) adalah salah satu metode pengelasan yang meleburkan metal itu sendiri menggunakan arus listrik serta tekanan pneumatik. RSW sangat sering dijumpai di berbagai industri terutama industri otomotif dan industri dirgantara dimana diperlukan kecepatan untuk las titik serta temperatur yang terpusat. Elektroda dari tembaga biasanya adalah pilihan utama sebagai sumber penyalur arus listrik dan penekan. Bentuk dari elektroda itu sendiri berpengaruh atas ukuran nugget yang tercipta. Investigasi kali ini mencari dampak perubahan sudut elektroda terhadap besar nugget dengan memvariasikan bentuk elektroda dengan sudut kemiringan 30°, 45â?°, 60° terhadap benda kerja, serta bentuk Lab DTM. Nilai dari initial value contact resitance adalah 230 dengan menggunakan simulasi dari perangkat lunak ANSYS. Ditemukan hubungan bahwa semakin besar sudut elektroda terhadap benda kerja (semakin lancip elektroda) maka semakin besar juga diameter nugget yang tercipta. Hal ini dikarenakan ukuran elektroda yang mengecil sehingga current density dapat menjadi lebih terpusat. Hasil ini secara konsisten ditunjukan dengan berbagai variasi initial value. Didapati juga bahwa semakin besar initial value contact resistance, maka semakin besar juga diameter nugget.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is one of a few method of welding which melt its own metal using electric current and pneumatic pressure. RSW often found in various industry especially in otomotif industry and aeroplane industry where speed and temperatur distribution is really needed. Electrode made from copper usually is the main option for source of electric conductor and pressure. Shape of electrode itself affect the nugget size of the weld. This investigation will found the effect of changing the angle of attack of electrode for the weld nugget size with varying the angle from 30â?°, 45°, 60â?°, and DTM lab electrode. Value from initial value contact resistance will also be 230 using simulation with ANSYS APDL software. It was found that the bigger the angle (more pointed) electrode will produce a bigger weld nugget diameter. This is because of the electrode size getting smaller therefore creating a more focused current density resulting in bigger nugget weld. This result is consistent eventhough the initial value was changed. It was also found that the higher the inital value contact resistance, the nugget diameter would also got bigger.

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is widely used in industries such as the aerospace, automotive, and electrical application industries. RSW is very useful for joining aluminum and its welding parameters lead to good quality joints. This research studied the influence of the welding parameters, such as welding current, welding time, and the electrode force, of micro resistance spot welding (MRSW) on the mechanical properties and fracture of a nugget of aluminum alloy (AA) 1100. AA 1100 plate with a thickness of 0.4 mm was used in this experiment. An alternating current (AC) RSW machine and electrode were used in this study. The welding parameters used in this study are welding current, welding time, and electrode force. Holding time is assumed to be constant. The welding time values of 6 CT, 8 CT, and 10 CT were combined with a welding current of 8 kV, and electrode forces of 32 kg, 42 kg, and 52 kg. The results showed that by increasing the electrode force, the load rate decreases, and the elongation distance tends to decrease, except for the electrode force of 52 Kg. The effect of the electrode force on the diameter and thickness of the weld nugget was not significant.

Micro Resistance Spot Welding mRSW merupakan metode pengelasan yang banyak digunakan di industri manufaktur dikarenakan prosesnya yang cepat, efisien secara ekonomi, dapat diotomasi, dan dapat digunakan untuk pelat dengan ketebalan rendah. Pelat paduan aluminium, khususnya AA 1100 dengan ketebalan rendah merupakan salah satu bahan yang dewasa ini banyak digunakan dalam industri manufaktur dikarenakan sifatnya yang ringan dengan kekuatan mekanis yang baik. Belum terdapat penelitian yang membahas mengenai parameter optimum dari mRSW untuk pengelasan AA 1100. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan pengelasan terhadap pelat AA 1100 dengan dimensi 19 mm x 76 mm x 0,4 mm menggunakan instrumen pengelasan mRSW otomatis dengan variabel yaitu diameter tip elektroda dan cycle time pengelasan secara berturut-turut sebesar 2, 4, 6 mm dan 5, 7,5, 10 siklus. Karakterisasi hasil las dilakukan lewat analisis makrostruktur dan pengujian tarik. Hasil observasi makrostruktur menunjukkan adanya peningkatan diameter weld nugget seiring dengan penggunaan tip dengan diameter lebih besar. Pengujian tarik menunjukkan bahwa diameter tip berbanding lurus dengan tensile load yang terjadi pada hasil las, sementara terjadi penurunan nilai tensile load pada siklus/cycle time yang lebih besar.

Micro Resistance Spot Welding mRSW is commonly used in the manufacturing industry due to its time and economic efficiency, easily automated, and its ability to be used in welding of thin plates. Al alloy plates, such as AA 1100 alloy plates with low thickness are currently utilized in manufacture industries considering its lightweight and good mechanical properties. However, there are no sufficient studies that investigate the optimum mRSW parameters in AA1100 welding. In this reserach, AA1100 alloys specimens in 19 mm x 76 mm x 0.4 mm dimension were welded using automatic mRSW method with variations on the electrode tip diameter and welding cycle time. Diameters of the electrode tip were 2, 4, and 6 mm, respectively, while welding cycle time were varied for 5, 7.5, and 10 cycles. Characterizations of welded plates were done through macrography observation and tensile testing. Results of macrography shows that diameter of weld nuggest increase along with bigger electrode tip diameter. Tensile testing results, indicates that larger tip diameter resulted in higher tensile load. On the other hand, more cycle time applied during welding procedure resulted in lower tensile load of produced weld.
