AB Resistance spot welding (RSW) is one of the most relevant industrial processes in diferent sectors. Key issues in RSW areprocess control and ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of the quality level of RSW joints. Multiple-input–single-output methodsare commonly used to create predictive models of the process from the welding parameters. However, until now, the choiceof a particular model has typically involved a tradeof between accuracy and interpretability. In this work, such dichotomyis overcome by using the explainable boosting machine algorithm, which obtains accuracy levels in both classifcation andprediction of the welded joint tensile shear load bearing capacity statistically as good or even better than the best algorithmsin the literature, while maintaining high levels of interpretability. These characteristics allow (i) a simple diagnosis of theoverall behavior of the process, and, for each individual prediction, (ii) the attribution to each of the control variables—and/or to their potential interactions—of the result obtained. These distinctive characteristics have important implications forthe optimization and control of welding processes, establishing the explainable boosting machine as one of the referencealgorithms for their modeling.
