Resistance Spot Welding Simulation

Resistance welding is a fusion welding process in which coalescence of metals is produced at the faying surfaces by the heat generated at the joint by the resistance of the work to the flow of electricity.

Force is applied before, during, and after the application of current to prevent arcing at the work piece
