Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a complicated process, which involves the interaction of electrical, thermal, mechanical, and metallurgical phenomena. In this research we used two types of material (UNS G10050 carbon steel and UNS C10010 copper) and welded them in similar and dissimilar condition with four variables welding current, pressure, squeeze time and welding time. The results of the tensile-shear force were analyzed statistically by the Design of experiments (DOE) utilizing Taguchi method. Tensile-shear test used for counting the strength of the joint, maximum strength was found in similar joining condition for carbon steel, also it is interesting to note that the strength of dissimilar joint is stronger than copper joining in similar condition.
