Resistance welding

Resistance welding

(OP)
There are various variables one need to consider when using resistance welding such as the the current, pressure and temperature. I am new to the area, Can anyone explain how these variables are measured and controlled during the welding operation? Do we use sensors for example to measure them?

Thank you.

Use Google to search this information.

Thank you for the advise Metengr but I need to have a discussion with people who interact directly with this technology

RE: Resistance welding

I would suggest calling one or more vendors to discuss background and application directly. Nothing better than dealing with qualified vendors of ERW equipment.

Thank you for the suggestion dude.

RE: Resistance welding

I went thru a similar learning curve with a resistance welding project in my garage. I was trying to make a small spot weld between two thin pieces of 17-7ph stainless steel strip. After playing around with the welder settings and melting several dozen weld samples, I finally figured out that I needed to make a set of custom tungsten-tipped copper electrodes to produce the weld I needed. The electrode design was more important than adjusting the welder's current, pressure, timing, etc.

Definitely a good learning experience though.
