Abstract
A resistance spot welding electrode for forming dissimilar welded lap joints in crash-relevant structural components of the automotive industry made of high-strength materials. The resistance spot welding electrode includes a cap having, at an end portion of the electrode in contact with materials to be welded together during welding, a non-axially symmetrical contact area in order to form, between the materials being welded, a weld nugget with an essentially similar non-axially symmetrical shape.
