Guidelines for Electrode Material Selection in Resistance Welding

Selecting the correct electrode material and geometry is critical to achieving consistent, high-quality welds, but it can be a complex process. While this Q&A focuses primarily on electrode materials, it’s important to note that factors such as part geometry, dissimilar metals, and varying material thicknesses also play a role in determining the optimal solution.

Below are some frequently asked questions that can help guide material selection for resistance welding applications.
