6、NJ.PREFACE The Resistance Welder Manufacturers Association (RWMA) takes extreme pride in presenting the Revised Fourth Edition of the Resistance Welding Manual. At its publishing, this work represents the latest and most complete com- pilation of basic information on resistance welding available any

7、where. The text gathers together the most current data on resistance welding which includes: the different welding processes; types and weldability of various mate- rials; and resistance welding equipment, such as welding machines, electrodes, jigs and fixtures, transformers, con- trols and power su

8、pplies. Also covered, are modern quality control (S.P.C.) and maintenance procedures. This organization, representing North American builders of all types of resistance welding equipment, has a long tradition of providing practical information and assistance to those using and studying this vital we

9、lding process, and of developing standards to serve the entire resistance welding industry. The RWMA has grown in parallel with the industry it serves, reaching its greatest strength as resistance welding gains new recognition for speed and pro- ductivity in automotive, appliance, transport, aerospa

10、ce, electronics and consumer goods manufacturing. An organization such as the RWMA depends on countless hours of unpaid work by member and non-member representatives to bring a massive project like this reference work to fruition. For some individuals, publication of this book represents the finest

11、possible testimony to their dedication. The RWMA wishes to gratefully acknowledge the efforts of literally dozens of member delegates who gave unselfishly of their time working on this volume as part of the Association. March, 2003 RWMA, Philadelphia, PA RWMA MiThe reference data provided in this re

12、vised edition is the product of an indeter- minable amount of hours of charitable contribution by many professionals and orga- nizations. Their work is deeply acknowledged by the RWMA Association; but more important, their contributions will serve to advance the comprehension of resistance welding t

13、hroughout the welding industry. Additionally, state-of-the-art technology and practical resistance welding data will undoubtedly guide significant productivity achievements in the coming years. The entire Resistance Welding Industry will profit from their commitment to this manual. The scope of cove

14、rage, both of resistance welding fundamentals and its advanced applications, will prove useful to engineers, managers and technicians who are en- deavoring to increase their knowledge of resistance welding, upgrade product quality and maximize the use of their manufacturing resources. A comprehensiv

15、e index has been provided which we hope will expedite quick access to information.Also included are illustrations, photographs, and tables to assist information gathering and trouble- shooting. ivACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Machinery Division Automation International, Inc.

Resistance welding embraces that branch of the welding

35、 art in which the welding heat in the parts to be welded is generated by the resistance offered by these parts to the passage of an electrical current. It dif- fers from other forms of welding in that no extraneous materials, such as fluxes, filler rods, etc. are used; therefore, the metallography o

36、f the weld is not com- plicated by the addition of these materials. Resistance welding further differs from the fusion welding processes, by utilizing the application of mechanical force to forge the heated parts together. The effect of the force is to refine the grain structure, thus produc- ing a

37、weld with physical properties, in most cases, equal to the parent metal, and sometimes even superior. Resistance welding machines and their operation often appear mysterious to the layman when he sees good welds being made quickly and easily. The same characteristics may lead the beginner to believe

38、 the process more simple, or more generally applicable, than is true. It is the aim of this introductory discus- sion to review the fundamentals of the process and to discuss some of the more basic details. Welding is really a metallurgical process. Ordinary iron has been described as a suspension o

39、f ferrite crys- tals of variable compositions in a matrix of its own impurities. It is this matrix of impurities that increases the electrical resistance of all metals which is of real importance in electrical resistance welding. RESISTANCE WELDING PROCESSES Figure 1.1 illustrates, in graphic form,

40、the resistance welding processes1 and their relation to one another. It should be noted from this chart that the general sub- ject of resistance welding may be broken into two gen- eral classifications according to the method of joining the parts. (The same classifications may also be applied to oth

41、er welding processes). See also the latest revision of Standard Welding Terms and Definitions, an American Welding Society (AWS) publication. 11-2 Fundamentals Of Resistance Welding RESISTANCE WELDING Lap Joints Related Processes Spot Welding Projection Welding Seam Welding Butt Joints Flash Welding

42、 Upset Welding Percussion Welding Resistance Brazing Parting Forging Upsetting Fig. 1.1 - Resistance Welding Processes Lap Joining. This is a method whereby the electrodes conduct the welding current and at the same time apply the welding force. This method includes not only any kind of lap joint bu

43、t also any joint in sheets, plates, rods and bars in which the weld is not made end-to-end or edge-to-edge. Spot Welding. Spot welding is the most widely used example of lap joining, and it is accomplished with shaped electrodes held essentially stationary while the weld is made. Projection Welding.

44、 By forming projections in one or both of the workpieces, the current path is localized at the projections. This permits the use of flat electrodes, thus producing projection welds. Pulsation Welding. Normally a spot or projection weld is made with a single application or impulse of current. If, how

45、ever, the flow of current is interrupted and reapplied one or more times without release of electrode force, a pulsation weld results. Seam Welding. Seam welding is quite similar to spot welding, but the electrodes revolve and are actually in motion while the weld is being made. Roll Spot Welding. I

46、f interrupted current is used regardless of whether the wheels rotate continuously or intermittentlyand if the timing is such that the welds do not overlap, the resulting joint is called a roll spot weld. Butt Joining. Butt joining is that method in which the weld takes place on the ends of bars or

47、the edges of sheets or plates. The electrodes introduce current to the two members being welded, and may or may not be used to transmit the upset force. If they are used to transmit the upset force, it is accomplished through the gripping action of the electrodes or clamp jaws; otherwise, upset forc

48、e is provided by means of auxil- iary clamp members or backup members. Flash Welding. If two rods or bars, for example, are clamped end-to-end, with the abutting ends making light contact with one another when current is applied, a flashing action develops. As this flashing proceeds, metal is burned

49、 away, requiring one piece to be moved toward the other to maintain the flashing action. As this takes place the ends of the two pieces attain weld- ing temperature, at which time an upset force is applied, thereby completing the weld. Upset Welding. If two rods or bars, for example, are clamped end-to-end in electrodes, held in contact with one another as welding current and force is applied, the resultant joint is an upset weld. Percussion Welding. This is usually classed as a resistance welding process, although it technically is
