PCT No. PCT/FI95/00237 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 4, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 4, 1997 PCT Filed May 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO95/30511 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 16, 1995A method and apparatus for welding thin sheets (34) and (35) at the periphery of aligned holes therein by melting the sheets together by a rotating electrode (23) in a protective gas atmosphere. The sheets (34) and (35) are pressed together by copper rings (32) and (33) which also function as heat transfer members to conduct the heat away from the welding seam and thus prevent distortion thereat. The electrode (23) is adjusted to the proper vertical position by a guide (9) in a jig (7), and it is locked to the position determined by the sheets (34) and (35) by a clamp (31). |
