This work gives an insight in the transient softening at the fusion boundary of resistance spot welds of hot stamped steel 22MnB5. The development of the softened region was investigated for three different energy input concepts with short, middle, and long welding times; thereby, an experimental technique of interrupted spot welds combined with metallographic investigations and hardness measurements...
