Why are there 4 stages in resistance spot welding joint formation? What does it do?

1. The role of the pre-pressure stage is to reduce contact resistance, increase conductive cross-section, and increase physical contact points, creating conditions for the smooth passage of welding current in the future; in addition, under the action of pressure, the plastic deformation caused by the extrusion of metal into the gap helps to form a transparent sealing layer around the nugget to seal the nugget.

1. The role of pre-pressure stage useResistance spot welding machineAt this time, preloading can reduce contact resistance, increase conductive cross-section, and increase physical contact points, creating conditions for the smooth passage of welding current in the future; in addition, under the action of pressure, the plastic deformation caused by the extrusion of metal into the gap helps to form a transparent sealing layer around the nugget that seals the nugget.

The size of the pre-pressure should be adjusted according to the thickness, stiffness and surface condition of the workpiece. Preheating methods can be used to reduce the pre-stress, or electrodes of different shapes can be replaced to change stress and deformation.

2. The role of electric heating stage

Under the combined action of heat and mechanical force, a plastic ring and a nugget are formed until the nugget grows to the required size.

3. The role of maintenance phase

Ensure that the nugget crystallizes under pressure, reducing the chance of shrinkage cracks and other structural defects.

4. The role of the resting stage

At this time the electrode is lifted and a spot welding cycle is completed.
