Mathematical modelling and finite element analysis of thermal processes, much more complex in welding different metals in terms of chemical composition and structure, have allowed investigation and deepening of heat transfer phenomena and the establishment of a new technological spot welding variant for these joints. The distribution of temperatures in welded joints is influenced by the linear energy of the thermal source, the thermal properties of the base material (heat specific heat conductivity, material density and thermal diffusivity) and heat losses to the environment. Thermal field viewing, longitudinal and transverse variations of temperature in heterogeneous welded joints, as well as temperature values recorded at different nodes (points) located in the welding area and adjacent areas, lead to conclusions that will result in specific spot welding technologies.
