Abstract
Various algorithms for compensation of electrode wear at resistance spot welding are considered, and their effectiveness is analyzed. Algorithms are proposed, which provide the required quality of welding at electrode wear under the conditions of production.
Keywords: resistance spot welding, electrode wear, algorithms, autosteppers, spot weld, nugget diameter
