Requirements for resistance welding characteristics. Suitable resistance processes are spot, seam and projection welding.

This British Standard specifies requirements for the resistance welding characteristics of the following coatings:

  1. welding primers;
  2. weld-through sealants and adhesives;
  3. weld-through waxes.

The resistance welding processes suitable for welding primers and weld-through sealants, adhesives and waxes are spot, seam and projection welding.

NOTE 1 This standard specifies requirements for resistance stud welding but does not cover arc stud welding.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
