Caution when spot welding

Caution when spot welding

  • The tip of the spot welding machine should be maintained to a minimum of 0.1 in (3 mm) because it greatly affects welding strength. When possible, spot welding should be done between the existing spot welded points.
  • Before and after spot welding, weld a test piece (test pin) of the same material as the body panel, and check the welding strength.
