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.

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.

What should I do if the welding points shift during spot welding?

The solder joints during spot welding have clear requirements on some materials, such as size, penetration rate, etc. If there is deviation, it means it does not meet the standards. The editor of Xinxing has seen the solution using an upper and lower cylinder type spot welder. In fact, there are 5 solutions. Let’s take a look.

Precautions before operating DTN stainless steel spot welding machine

Each manufacturer’s spot welding machine is slightly different in structure, and the operating precautions of the welding machine are also different. The spot welding machine here is a DTN stainless steel spot welding machine, which is one of the NOVEL WELDER pneumatic spot welding machines. The precautions before operation are as follows, please read carefully.
