The development of the automotive industry leads to the search for newer construction materials, but also those used in the production process. Although many types of joints are used in vehicles, resistance welds remain the dominant one. The commonly used alloy for welding caps (CuCrZr) is already well known and therefore newer alloys and technologies for their production are sought to increase service life, and thus reduce production costs. Precipitation hardening CuCrTiAl alloy was analysed
