Apparatus for resistance seam welding

摘要

In an electrode for electrical resistance seam welding apparatus, which electrode is arranged to roll against a workpiece to be welded and is composed of a pressure member maintained out of contact with the workpiece, connected to a welding current supply, and made of a material which is a good electrical and thermal conductor, and a contact member in the form of an endless element mounted to roll against the workpiece and to be pressed against the workpiece by the pressure member, the contact member is composed of a rigid ring of a heat-resistant material selected to not form an alloy with the workpiece material, and the ring is mounted to surround the pressure member and to permit relative movement between the ring and the pressure member.
