Resistance Spot welding

Resistance spot welding is a thermo-electric process where heat is generated at the interface of the parts to be welded by passing an electrical current through them for a precisely controlled time and under force. The “resistance” in the name resistance spot welding comes from the fact that the resistance of the workpieces and electrodes are used in combination or contrast to generate heat at their interface.

Following are some of the thousands of photos and video examples of resistance spot welding applications that have come through our applications labs.
