resistance welding
Resistance welding refers to the welding technique that generates heat by using electrical resistance and joining metals without the use of additional filler material. It is extensively used to join thin sheets of metal in various industries, which results in strong and clean welds.
Key Features:
- Heat Generation: Electrical current passes through the metal joint, creating heat due to resistance.
- Pressure Application: The metal surfaces are pressurised to become solidly bonded together while welding.
- Fast and Efficient: The operation is fast and, therefore, is employed for mass manufacturing.
Resistance welding ensures the making of long-lasting high-quality metal joints with practically no wastage of material. Its application ranges from the automobile industries to the aerospace and electronics industries. With developments in automation and control systems, resistance welding has become more precise and energy-efficient.
