After all weld work:
-
Remove drilling chips.
-
Deburr sharp edges.
-
Preserve cavities with wax preservative.
HMC offers a few recommendations on resistance spot welding, one of the most
common welding procedures.
Resistance Spot Welding is a welding process in which work pieces are welded to-
gether by holding them together under pressure and apply localised heat generated
by a high electric current flowing through the contact area of the weld.
