Why is aluminum alloy difficult to spot weld?

Aluminum is a chemically active metal. It is easy to form an oxide film (Al2O3) on the surface that prevents the metal from further interacting with the surrounding medium. In the atmospheric medium, it has high corrosion resistance.

Why are resistance spot welding machines widely used for welding mild steel?

This is related to the performance and structure of low carbon steel. Its carbon content is low, below 0.2%. It has low strength, low hardness, good toughness and weldability, and a wide range of welding parameters. Generally, low carbon steel with a thickness of 0.5-3.5mm does not require special measures and can be simply welded with a single-phase power frequency AC power spot welder.

What are the constant current control, constant voltage control and constant heat control of resistance welding machines?

Only by installing a more intelligent controller-type resistance welding machine can the butt welding machine have constant current control, constant voltage control and constant heat control. Xinxing's pneumatic spot welders, pneumatic butt welders, pneumatic projection welders, pneumatic seam welders and automatic welders all have this function.

What is the principle and essence of resistance welding?

Resistance welding includes: spot welding, butt welding, projection welding, and seam welding. Its principle is: place two metal workpieces between electrodes, press them tightly and then energize them. The current flows through the welding area and then uses the resistance heat of the workpiece itself to heat the workpiece, so that the welded part reaches a local melting or high-temperature plastic state.
