Resistance spot welding
Principle: At Low Voltage, high Current flowing through the joint generated large amount of heat due to High contact resistance which couses melting of joint and further fusion of metals.this includes five steps
1.squeezeeing
2.weld
3.hold
4.forge
5.Pressure off
Resistance Spot welding is the process in which the Adjoining metal surface are joined togrther by the heat obtained from Resistance to current flow , thus forming a weld nugget between them.
Mathamatically:
Heat Generated in the resistance spot welding is H=KIsquere Rt
Where I is Electric Current R Resistance of the joint
t= Time for which Electic current is paassed through thr joint
K= Constant accounting for Heat leoasse from the welded joint
Application:
Welding handles of Cooking Utensils
Welding in Automobile
Advantages of Resistance Spot Welding
No Filler Metal or Flux is required
High Production Rate occurs
Process can be easily automated
Dissimilar metal with Different Thicknesses can be welded together
Disadvantage of Resiistance Spot Welding
Leads to High Initial Costs
Warping and Loss of fatigue Strenght occur aroung the weld point
Appearance become very ugly
Cracks are formed aroung the weld point and on the weld surfaces

How do you measure hardness of polymers ?
Durometer:


Durometer:
For Elastomers and polymers, hardness is defined as the resistance of elastic deformation of the surface. To measure hardness of polymers most commonly using tool is Duro meter the test careered out on Duro meter is known as Durometer hardness test. The duro meter pushed over the polymer surfaces to be tested until it reaches a stop. It consist of different type of indenter ( differ type A, D, M) is then forced into the polymer, and the depth of the indentation is read of on an arbitrary scale 0f 0 - 100
Rockwell hardness test:
Generally used to measure hardness of harder plastics such as Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene and acetal where the resiliency or creep of the polymer is lesslikely to affectes the result
Generally Rockwell scales used for plastics are Rockwell E , Rockwell M , Rockwell R as well as minimum thickness of specimen should be ¼ inch (6.4mm)
