Abstract
The paper presents robotic spot resistance welding technologies for DOCOL 1200M steel with a thickness of 1.8 mm. DOCOL 1200M steel with a martensitic structure is intended mainly for the production of car bumpers, side beams and other elements ensuring the safety of the user of motor vehicles. The test joints were made on a robotic station equipped with a KUKA KR180 robot and a welding from ARO. The obtained welded joints were subjected to macro and microscopic metallographic tests, hardness measurement and strength tests. It has been shown that for properly selected resistance spot welding, DOCOL 1200M steel joints with a satisfactory strength level can be obtained.
