Electric resistance spot welding

Electric resistance spot welding is a process in which contacting metal surfaces are joined by the heat obtained from resistance to electric current flow. Workpieces are held together under pressure exerted by the electrodes.

Electric resistance spot welding overview

Midwest Metal Fabricators employs manual and semiautomatic spot welders in its production operations. We fixture the metal components to be joined with welding clamps and then our AWS certified welders apply the spot weld.

Workpiece materials

Midwest Metal Fabrication typically uses electric resistance spot welding to join steel on steel on steel only.

Workpiece thickness

We can spot weld materials up to 9-gauge thick and of course, thinner metals with a minimum gauge of 24.

Other complementary services

Midwest Metal Fabrication personnel can grind welds and paint finished components with weldable primer or finish coat. We also offer assembly services, if needed. Midwest Metal Fabrication personnel can affix product identifiers or stamp them onto a finished product or component. Grinding welds is normally not required.
