Resistance spot welding is an important technology in the field of automobile manufacturing, the quality of nugget
determines the quality and strength of body to a large extent. It is, however, irrational to apply the resistance spot
welding to the dominations higher requirement to the quality of nugget for the limitation of the quality control. In this
paper, based on the electromagnetic theory, the inversion theory is introduced to analyze the spot welding process. First,
the magnetic field around the nugget is detected, with which the current density distribution in the welding nuclear can
be calculated inversely, where the truncated total least squares (TTLS) method is recommended to solve the inverse
problem. The result shows that inverse images can basically reflect the current distribution in the cross section of nugget
under different welding currents.
