A weld schedule is a set of parameters used to control the welding process in resistance welding. These parameters include the welding current, welding time, electrode force, and electrode size. A well-designed weld schedule is critical to achieving a high-quality, repeatable weld. Here are the steps to create a weld schedule...

Resistance Spot and Projection Welding Welding current is the most important parameter in resistance welding, it directly correlates with how much heat is generated on each weld. And the enemy repeatability in Resistance welding is heat. When heat has been taken care of properly, not only will your tips last longer...

Resistance Weldable Material It is not possible to state with finality what materials may or may not be satisfactorily resistance welded by one or more of the several processes. The principal reason is that there is no accepted definition or understanding of what constitutes a satisfactory weld. A weld that may...

Use only welding electrodes of the specified type and shape and make sure they are clean when installed. Do not use electrodes of unknown material. Use straight electrodes when possible. Only use offset electrodes when there’s nothing else that will do the job. Always check the location of the deflector...
