Progression of Projection Collapse for a Simple Angled Projection
Short Weld Time Low Weld Force Proper Weld Conditions Note Swelling of OD Slight Swelling of ID Excessive Weld Time Excessive Weld Force Proper Restricted Width Weld No Swelling of OD Resistance welder Manufacturers Association Bulletin # 35
Photomicrographs Of Full Width Solid Projection Welds Resistance welder Manufacturers Association Bulletin # 35
Photomicrographs Of Restricted Width Solid Projection Welds Resistance welder Manufacturers Association Bulletin # 35
Parameters The Welding Parameters appear to be more dependent on Sheet Thickness than on Pipe Thickness Resistance welder Manufacturers Association Bulletin # 35
Excessive Swelling Weld Force Acceptable Swelling There is a parameter limit which exceeded results in excessive pipe swelling Resistance welder Manufacturers Association Bulletin # 35

Troubleshooting Guide • Flashing of projections or “spitting of molten metal • Increase Pressure • Shorten Weld time • Increase squeeze time • Reduce heat • Check for dirty or scaly material • Check insulation in locating fixture • Burning, discoloration • Increase pressure • Shorten weld time • Add hold time • Reduce heat • Poor, weak or missing welds • Increase welder force • Increase welder KVA capacity • Increase weld time • Increase heat • Reduce electrode pressure Solich, T “Improving Projection Welding Results” Practical Welding Today, Nov-Dec 1997
