The aim of this research is to improve the Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) process characteristics of AISI SS316L joints ontensile shear load (TSL). The RSW process parameters like electrode diameter of 6mm to 8mm, welding current of 7 kA to9 kA, heating cycle periods of 7 to 9 are selected. The 2 mm sheet thickness has been selected for the welding trials and tensileshear test has been involved for all the trials for the purpose of identifying the TSL. Taguchi optimization technique is usedfor design the experiment with the help of Minitab software. It is observed that maximum TSL of 16 kN is observed by settingthe parameters at 6mm electrode diameter, 9 kA welding current and heating cycles of 9. The ANOVA table confirms thatwelding current majorly affects the quality of weld and all the trials are observed with interfacial failure.
