Abstract Scope |
Practical guidance is offered to manufacturers responsible for resistance welding operations on how to prevent problem welds from being produced. Methods are revealed on how to detect a variety of common problems faced by most welding operations, and the corrective action to take in each of these situations to prevent bad welds from occurring in the first place. Specific issues addressed include poor part fit-up, material variation, surface contamination, and flattening electrodes. The manufacture will learn how to apply these methods with commonly available equipment, to increase production throughput, reduce machine downtime, and increase the consistency of all welds produced. |
