Study Notes
- No distinct content or topic is provided for summarization or note-taking.
- Please provide specific text or questions to generate study notes.
Resistance Welding Overview
- Cycle involves lap resistance forging and post-heating welding operations.
- Spot welding design includes arrangements for replaceable electrode tips.
Advantages of Resistance Welding
- Rapid joining process, suitable for high volume applications.
- Automation can be fully implemented.
- Conserves materials by eliminating the need for filler metal, shielding gases, and flux.
- No skilled operators needed for the process.
- Effectively joins dissimilar metals.
- Offers high reliability and reproducibility.
Limitations of Resistance Welding
- Initial costs are relatively high.
- Primarily limited to lap joints, restricting versatility.
- Maintenance requires skilled personnel.
- Special surface treatments may be necessary.
Applications of Resistance Welding Techniques
- Common techniques include:
- Resistance spot welding (RSW).
- Resistance seam welding.
- Projection welding.
- Upset welding.
- Flash welding.
- Percussion welding.
Resistance Spot Welding (RSW)
- Joins two sheet metals using a lap joint, forming a nugget at their interface.
- Example of application: Welding two flat copper sheets (1.2 mm thick) with a current of 6000 A over 0.18 seconds results in a defined heat generation in the weld zone.
Resistance Seam Welding
- Utilizes higher currents than spot welding to prevent short circuits.
- Produces a continuous seam through rotating electrodes with timed pulses of current.
- Suitable for overlapping sheets, maintaining the same equipment as spot welding.
Projection Welding
- Addresses limitations of spot welding by allowing multiple welds simultaneously.
- Involves embossing dimples on workpieces at weld locations, where projections flatten to create welds.
- Effective for attaching bolts and nuts to other metal components without surface indentation.
Upset Welding
- Designed for butt joints rather than lap joints, holding pieces tightly as current is applied.
- Useful for joining rods or similar components where pressure causes slight deformation.
Flash Welding
- Similar to upset welding but relies on arc heating instead of resistance.
- Used for producing electric resistance-welded (ERW) pipes from metal sheets, with shaped plate ends clamped and heated by rotating copper disc electrodes.
