An in-line two-step weld uses a concentric electrode to purge zinc coating before spot welding, reducing LME cracking in Gen3 steel.
A thin-wall sliding member with an air passage relieves thermal expansion force, reducing guide-hole wear and guide pin misalignment.
A pin-and-collar electrode improves heat balance in aluminum-to-thin-steel spot welding, reducing expulsion, cracking, and penetration.
A convex copper-alloy tip with tuned inner diameter and bottom thickness limits deformation and heat rise while improving spot weld appearance.
A thin-wall sliding member with an air passage absorbs thermal expansion, reducing guide pin wear, misalignment, and welding accuracy loss.
A preformed circular emboss guides nugget shape in aluminum spot welding, improving joint strength while reducing electrode contact and adhesive interference.
Universal-joint electrode tips correct tilt during spot welding of galvanized high-strength steel, reducing tensile stress and LME cracking.
A patterned reconditioning tool imprints electrode tips to break oxide layers, lower resistance, reduce dressing downtime, and keep weld quality stable.
A movable cooling pipe keeps water flow close to the cap tip, preserving electrode shape and welding quality across shank length changes.
Grooves or blind holes on the electrode tip break oxide films, stabilize current flow, and preserve weld quality after dressing.
A discontinuous abutting part boosts resistance heat to melt aluminum against steel, enabling reliable mass-production joining without inserts.
A magnetic unit on the welding electrode creates Lorentz force to redirect nugget growth and suppress surface spatter in ultra-high-strength steel welding.
