To overcome\r\nthermal imbalance constraints, an innovative strategy leveraging plastic shell containment is proposed to elevate\r\nthe expulsion-free heat input threshold. By applying a combined preheating and ramping current profile, a coordinated “shell-first, nugget-second” sequence is achieved. This mechanism creates a solid-state barrier prior to\r\nrapid fusion, effectively preventing expulsion. Experimental results demonstrate that while the reference\r\nconstant-current schedule fails to maintain a process window under a 2 mm initial gap (IG) disturbance, the\r\nproposed strategy significantly enhances process stability. It increases the maximum expulsion-free heat input by\r\n24 % (to 6338 J) under normal conditions and by 77 % (to 6482 J) under the IG condition. Crucially, the\r\nincreased heat input drives nugget growth across all interfaces, achieving a penetration depth of 0.38 mm (48 %\r\npenetration ratio) in the low-carbon steel sheet under the gap condition. These findings validate the strategy’s\r\neffectiveness in ensuring weld quality and robustness, which is further confirmed by its transferability to a lowerresistivity DX54D cover sheet.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2025-12-22T08:20:34Z","publisher":"Elsevier BV","title":"Process window expansion with transferable applicability in three-layer dissimilar steel resistance spot welding via expulsion prevention","issue":"Special issue entitled: ‘Trends on spot joining’ published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes.","quality_controlled":"1","year":"2026","user_id":"65085","department":[{"_id":"157"}],"_id":"63391","file_date_updated":"2025-12-22T08:21:51Z","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","status":"public","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-9201-9304","last_name":"Yang","id":"65085","full_name":"Yang, Keke","first_name":"Keke"},{"first_name":"Leonhard","last_name":"Männer","full_name":"Männer, Leonhard","id":"51255"},{"full_name":"Wang, Zhuoqun","last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Zhuoqun"},{"id":"5974","full_name":"Olfert, Viktoria","last_name":"Olfert","first_name":"Viktoria"},{"id":"84119","full_name":"Böhm, Yannic","last_name":"Böhm","first_name":"Yannic"},{"first_name":"David","id":"7728","full_name":"Hein, David","last_name":"Hein"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-2763-1246","last_name":"Meschut","full_name":"Meschut, Gerson","id":"32056","first_name":"Gerson"}],"volume":157,"oa":"1","date_updated":"2025-12-22T08:24:19Z","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.12.036"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.12.036","publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1526-6125"]},"citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Yang_Männer_Wang_Olfert_Böhm_Hein_Meschut_2026, title={Process window expansion with transferable applicability in three-layer dissimilar steel resistance spot welding via expulsion prevention}, volume={157}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.12.036\">10.1016/j.jmapro.2025.12.036</a>}, number={Special issue entitled: ‘Trends on spot joining’ published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes.}, journal={Journal of Manufacturing Processes}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Yang, Keke and Männer, Leonhard and Wang, Zhuoqun and Olfert, Viktoria and Böhm, Yannic and Hein, David and Meschut, Gerson}, year={2026}, pages={984–1000} }","short":"K.
