FAQ

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.

Installation Requirement of Resistance Welding Machine

News & Technicals Installation Requirement of Resistance Welding Machine Installation The Resistance Welding Machine should be installed near by the substation (power transformer), on a flat ground with little wet dust and no harmful gas, and must be fixed with anchor bolts. When the welding machine and welding tool are combined and installed, the welding tool must be completely insulated from the welding machine body. In order to meet the requirements of the welding machine, users need to provide corresponding technical conditions according to the requirements of various types of equipment Power supply connection Connect the power supply switch to the power terminal on the back of the welder. The selection of power supply capacity and connecting wire should be guaranteed: when welding, the voltage drop of the primary voltage does not exceed 10% of the normal rated primary voltage. Each welding machine must be equipped with a power switch…

Classification and Application of Resistance Welding

News & Technicals Classification and Application of Resistance Welding Types of Resistance Welding Resistance welding refers to a method in which the resistance heat generated by the current passing through the weldment and the contact is used as a heat source to locally heat the weldment to a molten or plastic state, and at the same time press to form a metal bond. When welding, no filler metal is required, the productivity is high, the deformation of the weldment is small, and it is easy to realize automation. According to the type of power source, there are three types: AC power resistance welding, secondary rectification resistance welding, and pulse power resistance welding. Classified by process method, there are resistance spot welding, seam welding, projection welding, and resistance butt welding. 1. Spot welding is a resistance welding method in which the weldment is assembled into a lap joint and pressed between…

Principle and Application of Spot Welding Machine

News & Technicals Principle and Application of Spot Welding Machine     Spot welding is where the weldment is welded at individual points on the contact surface at the joint. Spot welding requires the metal to have better plasticity. When welding, clean the surface of the weldment first, and then lap the welded sheet to be assembled, press it between the two columnar copper electrodes, and apply force to compress it. When a large enough current is passed, a large amount of resistance heat is generated at the contact of the plates, and the metal in the hottest area in the center is quickly heated to a high plasticity or molten state, forming a lens-shaped liquid molten pool. Continue to maintain the pressure, disconnect the current, and after the metal cools, a solder joint is formed.     Spot welding is only used for the welding of thin-plate lap joints, metal…

Factors Affecting the Resistance Between Electrodes

News & Technicals Factors Affecting the Resistance Between Electrodes The contact resistance exists for a short period of time, usually in the early stage of welding, which is formed by two reasons:1) The oxide or dirty material layer with high resistivity on the surface of the workpiece and the electrode will greatly hinder the current. Too thick oxide and dirty material layers can even make the current unable to conduct.2) Under the condition that the surface is very clean, due to the microscopic unevenness of the surface, the workpiece can only form contact points on the rough surface. At the contact point, the current line is gathered. Due to the shrinking of the current path, the resistance at the contact is increased. The resistance Rew between the electrode and the workpiece is compared with Rc and Rw. Because the resistivity and hardness of the copper alloy are generally lower than…
