PCT No. PCT/JP96/00410 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 24, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 24, 1996 PCT Filed Feb. 23, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/26037 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 29, 1996Mash seam welding process and apparatus, wherein two plate-like workpieces having different thickness values are fed and guided by a guiding device such that a length WH of contact of the thick plate-like workpiece with one of two roller electrodes is smaller than a length WM of contact of the thin plate-like workpiece with the other roller electrode. In this arrangement, the amount of mashing of the thick plate-like workpiece by the roller electrode is made larger than that of the thin plate-like workpiece by the other roller electrode, so that an interface of the two plate-like workpieces is positioned intermediate between the pair of roller electrodes, whereby a weld nugget formed intermediate between the roller electrodes extends across the interface, permitting the weld to have a sufficient strength owing to a nugget ratio, which is a ratio of a width dimension WN of the weld nugget in the direction of the interface to a width dimension WG of the interface.
