Resistance spot welding is an important and widely used method for joining metal objects. In this paper, various classification
methods for identifying welding processes are evaluated. Using process identification, a similar process for a new welding
experiment can be found among the previously run processes, and the process parameters leading to high-quality welding joints
can be applied. With this approach, good welding results can be obtained right from the beginning, and the time needed for
the set-up of a new process can be substantially reduced. In addition, previous quality control methods can also be used for
the new process. Different classifiers are tested with several data sets consisting of statistical and geometrical features
extracted from current and voltage signals recorded during welding. The best feature set - classifier combination for the
data used in this study is selected. Finally, it is concluded that welding processes can be identified almost perfectly by
certain features.
