The objective of this study is to study the effect of parameters, such as electrode force, welding current and welding cycles on the weld strength of the weld joint between two dissimilar materials, i.e., Mild steel (ms6240) and stainless steel (ss304). In the present study the electrode force is kept constant i.e., 6KN.A welding current of 1, 1.5 and 2KA, and cycle time of 40, 50 & 60 are used for the weld joint. The specimen is subjected to shear test according to ASME BPVC IX-2015, QW-196.2.1. It is inferred from the results that the weld shear strength of the spot weld joint is increased with the increased welding current and increased welding cycles.
