Resistance welding is a welding method in which the workpiece to be welded is pressed between two electrodes, and the current is used to generate heat on the contact surface of the workpiece and the resistance in the adjacent area, and heat it to a molten or plastic state to form a metal bond. . With its unique advantages, resistance welding is widely used in aerospace, electronics, automobiles, household appliances and other manufacturing industries. There are four main resistance welding methods: spot welding, seam welding, projection welding, and butt welding.

Resistance welding is suitable for mass production, with high production efficiency and no noise and harmful gases; simple operation, easy to realize mechanization and automation; low welding cost, no welding materials such as filler metal; small stress and deformation, short heating time, and concentrated heat; The metallurgical process is simple. When the nugget is formed, it is always surrounded by a plastic ring, and the molten metal is isolated from the air.

The core of resistance welding are the three major elements of welding current, pressure, and energizing time, all of which are indispensable. Model selection according to the material and thickness of the workpiece.

Welding current is an important factor in generating heat. The formula is Q=I²Rt. It can be seen that the influence of current on heat generation is greater than both the resistance R and the time t. Therefore, the proper and stable welding current must be ensured during welding. If the welding current is too small, the welding part will not have enough heat, which will seriously affect the welding strength. If the welding current is too large, the welding part will be deformed, the surface will become dirty, the molten metal will splash, and bubbles will be generated.

Welding Methods of Electric Resistance Welding Machine

News & Technicals Welding Methods of Electric Resistance Welding Machine 1. Spot Welding Spot welding is a resistance welding method in which the weldment is equipped with a lap joint and pressed between two cylindrical electrodes to deceive the resistance to heat the base metal to cause the welding spot. Spot welding is mainly used for thin plate welding. The process of spot welding: (1) Pre-compression to ensure good contact of the workpiece. (2) Energize to cause nugget and plastic ring at the weld. (3) Power-off forging, so that the nugget will cool and crystallize under the continuous action of pressure, resulting in a solder joint with dense structure, no shrinkage, and cracks. 2. Seam Welding The process of seam welding is similar to spot welding, except that the rotating disc-shaped roller electrode replaces the cylindrical electrode, and the weldment is equipped with lap or butt joints and placed between…

Precautions During Operation of Spot Welding Machine

News & Technicals Precautions During Operation of Spot Welding Machine 1. During the batch processing, in order to prevent the spot welding parameters from being unstable and the spot welding nozzle wear from affecting the strength of the parts, the quality and strength of the spot welding should be checked regularly. In order to ensure the strength of the spot welding and the flatness of the solder joints, the upper and lower spot welding nozzle planes should be trimmed with a file in time to make the upper nozzle end approximately arc-shaped (the upper welding nozzle end is not allowed to be severely piled up) , The lower mouth is flat without pits. 2. During the spot welding process, try to avoid sparking when the side of the spot welding nozzle contacts the parts, which will affect the strength of the spot welding and the appearance quality of the parts.…

Operation Procedure Description of Spot Welding Machine

News & Technicals Operation Procedure Description of Spot Welding Machine 1. Spot welding is a resistance welding method in which two weldments are pressed between two electrodes, and the base metal is melted by resistance heat to form a welding spot. According to the shape and thickness of the parts to be processed, the corresponding electrodes are selected, and special-shaped workpieces need to use elbows and special-shaped welding nozzles. 2. According to the wall thickness of the parts to be spot welded, appropriately adjust the spot welding process parameters of the spot welding machine for trial welding. The process parameters that need to be adjusted during the trial welding include: welding time, welding current, slow rise, and electrode pressure. 3. Prepare two test pieces with a width of 30-50mm and a length greater than 100mm with the same wall thickness as the processed part for spot welding strength test. After…
