Galvanized Steels:
Projection welding can offer some major advantages in resistance welding
galvanized steel.
The relatively low contact resistance is a major concern.
The use of a projection can put contact resistance back into the welding
circuit directly at the faying surface. This, in turn, results in lower welding
currents and possibly better electrode-life characteristics as compared to
resistance spot welding.
Advantages of Projection
Welding
Ease of obtaining satisfactory heat balance for welding
difficult combinations
More uniform results in many applications
Increased output per machine because several welds are
being made simultaneously
Longer electrode life
Advantages of Projection
Welding (CONT.)
Welds may be placed more closely together
Parts are more easily welded in an assembly fixture
Finish, or surface appearance, is often improved
Parts may be projection welded that could not be
otherwise resistance welded

When the thickness is greater than 0.125-in, the projection will not be
completely forged back
