Especially, Aluminium alloys are used as an alternative material for car-bodies in automotive industry. For the increasing demands in higher strength and better formability in light weight and crash worthiness aspects, special Aluminium alloys are developed. As a result, a variety of new technologies are being developed for working and fabrication of Aluminium products. This paper highlights the process of Resistance Spot Welding (RSW), properties of Aluminum and Aluminium alloys, preparation of Aluminium material for welding process, as well as the resistance spot welding of Aluminium alloys. The average and specific usage of Aluminium in passenger cars in concern with principal aspects and recent trends are presented.
