Resistance Weld Spec Table

Resistance Weld KS Specifications — 2 sizes
KS B ISO 2553

Resistance weld symbols for spot, seam, and projection welding using electrical resistance heat.

Practical Notes

  • Spot welding is the most common type. Over 80% of automotive body assembly uses spot welding.

Key Features

  • Spot, seam, and projection—3 types joined by electrical resistance heating under pressure; no filler needed
  • Spot symbol: circle with cross; quantity and pitch specify weld point layout
  • Automation-friendly; robot spot guns can join multiple points per second at high speed

Key Applications

Automotive body assembly (spot), fuel tank sealing (seam), nut joining (projection), appliance sheet metal, electronics cases

FAQ

What is spot weld pitch (spacing) criterion?

Typically 15–20× sheet thickness as minimum pitch. E.g., t1.0mm→15–20mm pitch. Too close causes current shunting and poor weld quality.
