  text: <jats:p>During resistance spot welding of zinc-coated advanced high-strength
    steels (AHSSs) for automotive production, liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracking
    may occur in the event of a combination of various unfavorable influences. In
    this study, the interactions of different welding current levels and weld times
    on the tendency for LME cracking in third-generation AHSSs were investigated.
    LME manifested itself as high-penetration cracks around the circumference of the
    spot welds for welding currents closely below the expulsion limit. At the same
    time, the observed tendency for LME cracking showed no direct correlation with
    the overall heat input of the investigated welding processes. To identify a reliable
    indicator of the tendency for LME cracking, the local strain rate at the origin
    of the observed cracks was analyzed over the course of the welding process via
    finite element simulation. While the local strain rate showed a good correlation
    with the process-specific LME cracking tendency, it was difficult to interpret
    due to its discontinuous course. Therefore, based on the experimental measurement
    of electrode displacement during welding, electrode indentation velocity was proposed
    as a descriptive indicator for quantifying cracking tendency.</jats:p>
