What is spot welding?

Spot welding is a resistance welding process used to join two or more metal sheets together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld area. The process involves clamping the sheets together between electrodes, then passing a high current through the spot for a short period of time. The resistance of the material to the current flow generates heat, which melts the metal at the joint, creating a weld. It is commonly used in automotive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and appliance assembly.
