Abstract

Based on the analysis of the characteristics of cold metal transition welding technology and the welding problems of the thin plate and dissimilar materials, this paper summarizes its applications in automobile industry. Cold metal transition technology can effectively solve the problems of burn-through and deformation of steel sheet and welding of dissimilar metals because of its characteristics of low heat input and low droplet transition temperature. The heat input controllability, coupled with the feature of the special unified expert database system of the cold metal transition technology makes it particularly suitable for automatic welding. It is commonly used in the automotive industry for the welding of aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, high-strength steels and dissimilar metals. With the continuous upgrading of materials, the technology still needs to be continuously improved and upgraded to enrich the unified expert database system to play a better role in automobile manufacturing.
