This study was intended to optimize the resistance Spot Welding Parameters (RSW) of sheet metals joints. The variation parameters selected were electrode force, welding current and welding time of 1.2 mm thickness low carbon steel. The settings of process parameters were conducted according to the L9 Taguchi orthogonal array in randomized way. The optimum process parameter was then obtained by using signal to noise ratio and analyzed further on the significant level by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The developed response has been found well fitted and can be effectively used for tensile shear strength prediction. The optimum parameters achieved were electrode force (2.3 kN), welding time (10 cycles) and welding current (8 kA). Based on the ANOVA, it was found that the electrode force is a vital parameter in controlling the tensile shear strength as compared to welding time and welding current.
