    1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - READ BEFORE USING Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precauXons. 1.1 SYMBOL USAGE DANGER! -Indicates a hazardous situaXon which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.
  • Page 5 During operaXon, keep everybody, especially children, away. The operator must receive full instrucXons regarding safe use of the spot welding machine and must be informed of the risks related to resistance welding procedures, as well as the related safety measures and emergency procedures. •...
  • Page 6 • ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when power is on. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard. •...
  • Page 7 • FLYING SPARKS CAN INJURE Very ocen sparks fly off from the joint area. • Wear approved face shield or safety goggles with side shields. • Wear protec?ve garments such as oil-free, flame-resistant leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Synthe?c material usually does not provide such protec?on.

    2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION Resistance welding is one of the oldest of the electric welding processes in use by industry today. The weld is made by a combina?on of heat, pressure, and ?me. As the name resistance welding implies, it is the resistance of the material to be welded to current flow that causes a localized hea?ng in the part.

    4. MATERIALS DATA FOR RESISTANCE SPOT WELDING This sec?on of the text will consider methods used for resistance spot welding some of the common metals that are used in fabrica?on work. It is not intended that all the possible problems that could arise will be answered. The purpose of this part of the text is to provide general opera?onal data for use with resistance spot welding machines.
  • Page 15 The reason is the reactance caused by the ferrous material within the arc welding circuit. Resistance spot welding machines are applicable to low carbon steel welding. They must be used within their rated capacity of total thickness of material for best results. They should not be used over the duty cycle since damage to the contactor and transformer may result.
  • Page 16 It is impossible to maintain the integrity of the galvanized coa?ng when resistance spot welding. The low mel?ng point of the zinc coa?ng, compared to the fusion temperature of the steel sheet, causes the zinc to vaporize. Of course, there must be adequate pressure to force the zinc aside at the weld interface to permit steel-to-steel fusion.
  • Page 17 Welding procedures for each type of material must be developed for the most sa?sfactory results. It is possible that shunt currents flowing through a previously made spot weld will take welding current away from the second second spot weld to be made. This will occur if the two spot welds are too close together, and it will happen with all metals.
  • Page 18 Test Procedures The test procedures outlined are very simple and require a minimum of equipment to perform. 1. Visual Test Observe the deforma?on and shape of the surface contact points at both sides of the weld. Excessive "dishing" of the surface contact point indicates one or more of the following: a.
