In the present work, the weld-through weld-bonding technique has been
adopted for manufacturing brass damping sheets. Spot-welding parameter
s, namely welding current, electrode force and welding cycles, have be
en optimized and reported for these sheets. The tensile strength, fati
gue strength, microhardness measurements and microstructure examinatio
n are performed and reported. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All right
