Resistance spot welding is employed to join the 9Cr oxide dispersion strengthened steel and the effects of different welding parameters are studied. Within the ranges of parameters used in this experiment, the failure load and energy increased from 4.3 kN, 1.0 J to 6.8 kN, 7.5 J as the welding current increased, while as the electrode force increased, the failure load and energy first decreased from 6.8 kN, 3.8 J to nearly 4 kN, 1.2 J, then remained stable. As the welding current exceeded 12.8 kA, the failure mode changed from pull out failure along the fusion line to the pull out failure along the fusion line partially and base metal partially. The welding current and electrode force strongly affect the mechanical properties and fracture mode of the joint.
