Introduction to Squeeze-Type Resistance Spot Welding is a 1-hour course that explains the spot-welding process. This course explores the various parts of a spot welder and lists the steps for spot welder setup. How to make a spot weld, determine weld quality, and listing the steps required for weld bonding are also covered.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify the squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW) process.
• Identify considerations when using STRSW and the stages for making a resistance spot weld.
• Identify equipment and settings used in squeeze-type resistance spot welding.
• Identify types of STRSW power sources, arm sets, and electrode tips.
• Identify inverter-type equipment, control settings, and programmed settings.
• Identify steps to make resistance spot welds.
• Identify steps to prepare panels, fit up panels, shunt the current, determine pitch/edge distances, and test resistance spot welds.
• Identify the weld-bonding process.
• Identify weld-bonding procedures, flange preparation steps, and weld-bond testing requirements.
