Abstract
In this study, the effects of electrode surface design on the resistance spot weldability and degradation of the electrode following resistance spot welding (RSW) of aluminum 6014-T4 alloy were investigated. A new patterning method that can be produced through repetitive pressurization was applied to the electrode, producing a lattice-like pattern..... More

Abstract
Generally, molds are fabricated by the machining of massive billets of tool steels, such as AISI4140 or H13, but it has drawbacks, such as a large material loss and long-delivery time. The Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process could be an alternative fabrication method. It has the advantages of less material..... More
