SPOT WELDING

Spot welding is a form of resistance

welding in which the parts or pieces are joined in
spots, accompanied by heat in relatively small
sections of the parts or pieces between suitable
electrodes under pressure.

 ADVANTAGES OF SPOT WELDING

• Low cost

• High speed of welding

• Dependability

• Less skilled worker will do

• Operation my be made automatic or semi automatic

• High uniformity of product

 SEAM WELDING

Seam welding is similar to spot welding except

that series of spots are produced by roller electrodes instead
of tipped electrodes.

 SEAM WELDING

• It is series of continuous spot welds

• Number of spots obtained per meter of the joint are

between 200 to 400.
• Weld speed range from 0.25m to 10m per minute

• Stitch welding & Roll spot welding

• Application is used where leak poof joint is required ex:-

Air crafts, Transformers

 ADVANTAGES OF SPOT WELDING

• Used for making lap and butt weld

• It can produce Liquid tight joints

• Single seam weld of several parallel seams can be

produced.
