“…During welding, it was also observed that molten metal expulsion occurred significantly at 0 ms ramp time, whereas there was almost no expulsion taking place at a weld current of 500 A and a ramp time of 8 ms. The upslope, relatively slowly introducing current to the workpieces to be joined, not only minimized the metal expulsion but also reduced the variation in contact resistance between the electrodes and workpieces [13]. Hence, it resulted in a more uniform melting between the faying workpieces and improved the quality of welding of Mo-Re sheet.…”
