The spot welding characteristics of VAN-QN (80), a dual-phase HSLA steel, were examined with regard to the strength and ductility of spot welds under static, impact and cyclic loading and compared to a conventional V-N HSLA steel and SAE 1008 low carbon steel. The maximum tensile shear strength of VAN-QN (80) spot welds was found to be proportional to the thickness and ultimate tensile strength of the base metal. VAN-QN (80) spot welds, therefore, were only slightly lower in strength than those in a conventional 80 Ksi yield strength HSLA steel but up to twice the strength of welds in low carbon steel. Weld ductility was lower for VAN-QN (80) than for low carbon steel but greater than for conventional HSLA steel and increased with material thickness. The impact and fatigue properties of VAN-QN (80) welds were similar to those in conventional HSLA and low carbon steels. (DePo)
