Describe the principle of resistance welding processes.

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

    Resistance welding is used for joining two metals. It consists of a welding head, which holds the metal between its electrodes and applies pressure, and a welding power supply, which applies electric current to the metal to be welded. Resistance generates friction heat when force is applied.
