The Zn-coated high-Si advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) tends to suffer Zn-assisted liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during the resistance spot welding (RSW) process. In this study, the LME behaviors of electrogalvanized (EG) and galvannealed (GA) high-Si steels were comparatively investigated. The maximum lengths of the LME cracks at the shoulder and center of the spot weld were approximately 366.6 μm and 1486.5 μm, respectively, for the EG yet 137.0 μm and 1533.3 μm, respectively, for the GA high-Si steels. Additionally, all EG and GA welded joints were etched to measure the nugget size. It was found that the increased welding current could aggravate the formation tendency of the LME cracks for both the EG and GA high-Si steels. Furthermore, the statistical results revealed that the electrogalvanized high-Si AHSS exhibited a relatively higher LME susceptibility than the galvannealed high-Si AHSS. It was deemed that the internal oxidation produced during the annealing before the Zn coating was the crucial factor that led to the difference in the LME susceptibilities for the EG and GA high-Si steels. |
