Resistance Welding: Resistance welding is a group of welding processes wherein coalescence is produced by the heat obtained from resistance of the work to the flow of electric current in a circuit of which the work is a part and by the application of pressure. No filler material is needed. Resistance welding is employed to join overlapping strips, sheets or plates of metal at small areas .The pieces are assembled between two electrodes, which must possess high electrical and thermal conductivity and retain the required strength at high temperatures, so they are made of pure copper for a limited amount of service, and of alloys of copper or tungsten, or copper and chromium for continuous working. When current is turned on, the pieces are heated at their contacts to a welding temperature, and with the aid of mechanical pressure the electrodes are forced against the metal to be welded.
