WELDING PRODUCTS
The little “TUFFALOY man” is now seventy years old. It was
in 1937 that Welding Sales & Engineering Company of
Detroit introduced a new line of resistance welding alloys
tradenamed TUFFALOY. What began as just a part of a
general line of welding equipment soon became their main
business, as electrode holders and other resistance welding
accessories were added to the TUFFALOY product line. Today
this now-familiar name represents the most innovative and
respected resistance welding alloy and accessory company
in the field.

standard straight tips
C
Straight tips from TUFFALOY are distinguished for
their high conductivity and resistance to deformation,
which are the two major requirements of resistance
welding tips. Modern manufacturing methods and
constant scientific quality control make the difference,
starting with the alloying of pure copper, through bar
extrusion, and the conversion of this high-quality bar
stock into welding tips.

TUFFALOY ensures conformity to all standard
dimensions. Before shipment, all tips must pass
inspection by gage for uniform length, taper, and
outline of point.

The bright shiny look of TUFFALOY tips is the result
of a passivation process that eliminates excessive
oxidation. It reflects the deep-down quality built into
these tips and into all TUFFALOY products.
Only RWMA Class 1 (TUFFALOY 88) and Class 2
(TUFFALOY 77) tips are listed here. Class 3 alloy
(TUFFALOY 55) tips are also available. For

caps and shanks
TUFFALOY
Tuffcap electrodes consist of two pieces: a shank and
a replaceable cap. These two-part electrodes can offer
major economies, because when the nose geometry is
worn out, only the cap needs to be replaced. And it costs
far less than a standard one-piece electrode. (A Tuffcap
shank will normally outlast twenty caps.) Also, electrode
inventory can be kept small because all nose designs
will fit the same size shank.
Female Cap Type
Electrode Assembly
TWO TYPES: TUFFALOY offers two kinds of Tuffcap
electrodes. One uses a male cap that fits into the shank.
The other has a female cap that fits over the shank.
FEMALE AND MALE CAPS are available in the widest
range of sizes, alloys, and styles. They are made in both
Class 1 and Class 2 alloy, and in sizes to fit- shanks sized
4 through 7 RW. Male caps are more effectively cooled
than female caps.
Male Cap Type
Electrode Assembly
ALL CAPS are made with the same nose designs in
conformance with RWMA standards.
SHANKS are made of Class 2 alloy, either straight,
or bent to provide an offset. Shanks other than those
cataloged can be special ordered. Tuffcap, caps and
shanks should be used only in a directly opposed,
straight-line manner. They do not work as well as
standard electrodes on heavily coated metal such
as galvanized or tin-plate.
Size 5 RW straight
and offset style shanks
holding male type caps
with swivel heads.
These caps are cataloged
on pages 6 & 7.
TUFFTRODE-Z CAPS FOR COATED STEELS
To avoid electrode sticking problems common when
welding galvanized and aluminized materials, these
copper chrome-zirconium alloy caps are offered. They
give the same performance as dispersion-strengthened
caps but cost far less. They are Class 2 caps in
mechanical and physical properties.
Both male and female caps are offered in all the standard
nose designs.
NEW! SUPER NOSE DESIGN CAPS
To avoid mushrooming and brassing problems associated with standard designs, these caps
have a self-dressing weld face ring that acts as a control zone. The Super Nose caps are
available in TUFFALOY’s new “Z” material, that eliminates electrode sticking problems
common when welding galvanized and aluminized materials.
Both male and female designs are offered, designed to fit shanks with 5 RW taper.

bent tips
DOUBLE-BEND, WITH STANDARD NOSE DESIGNS
These standard cold-formed tips are bent from straight tips (some after added machining) and have the same hardness
and conductivity. They outlast, many times over, the old cast and forged tips of similar geometry, which are impossible to
cool adequately.
The table shows a wide range of tips generally available from stock. For sizes not shown, refer to the diagrams and
description key at the bottom of the page, and order what you need. All measurements will be accurate. However, over-all
length, in 1/8-in. multiples, will be held to within 1/16-in.
Tapers, water holes, and nose designs are the same as the standard straight tips in this catalog.
Water tubes can be furnished.
Standard nose designs other than those shown here may be furnished on short order. Follow the “Key to Description”,
using a ‘B’ for Dome nose, ‘C’ for flat nose, ‘E’ for truncated cone, and ‘F’ for radius nose.

swivel tips
Swivel tips have ball-jointed
swivel heads to compensate
for minor misalignment, and
to eliminate marking of the
work surface. They are all
machined from Class 2 alloy
bar stock. The S-and SS-
Series tip water hole does
not reach the head. In the
OS and OSH models, the
water does contact the
head, and O-rings are used
to seal it. In the SS Series
a spring is used to keep
pressure on head for

The TUFFALOY copper-tungsten, tungsten and molybdenum-faced tips
listed here withstand greater heat and pressure, at the expense of
some conductivity. Besides being used for spot welding high resistance
base metals, they are useful in achieving “heat balance” when welding
dissimilar metals. (The higher resistance electrode is used against the
lower resistance, or thinner, member, to help contain the heat generated.)
They have the same diameters and tapers as the standard straight tips in
this catalog. Bodies are of Class 2 alloy. Lengths other than those shown
can be ordered.

cylinder-mounted holders
TUFFALOY
These standard-tip holders are mounted directly to
air or hydraulic cylinder pistons. They are ideal for
assembling special multi-head resistance welding
equipment. Current and coolant water are brought
to each of the holders separately.
Electrode adapters for the tip diameter being used
and in lengths to suit your set-up are ordered
separately: see page 16. Water tubes, for carrying
water into the tip, should also be ordered separately.
TUFFALOY offers both straight and offset holders for
cylinder mounting. Clamps, hose connections, water
tubes and adaptors are not included. Order separately.
OFFSET HOLDERS
Offset holders are offered in eight offset sizes,
from 1/8 to 1 inch. The standard models have a
1/2-NPT adapter socket, to hold adapters for 4 & 5RW
tips. Ordering a 3/4-NPT socket will permit adapters
for 6 & 7RW tips to be used.

with self-adjusting
water tubes
TUFFALOY straight non-ejector holders
are now equipped with the same
springloaded self-adjusting water tubes
as the Goldcrown ejector unit, so electrode
cooling is facilitated and improved. They
are low in initial cost and inexpensive to
maintain. Simple design and few parts
contribute to low maintenance cost and
excellent performance. Holders are heavy-
duty and built to withstand very high
welding rates.

ADJUSTABLE WATER TUBE USE
It is very important that resistance welding electrodes be kept as cool as possible; excessive heat softens them, allowing
the nose to mushroom and weld quality to drop.
Adjustable water tubes are used to deflect incoming coolant water to the full extent of the water hole in the electrode.
Before installing a tip, check that there is an adjustable water tube in place and that it is pulled out far enough so that it
will contact the end of the water hole in the tip.
The drawing shows a typical straight holder, but the principle is the same for all types of holders.
Adjustable water tube correctly positioned in tip. Cold water will strike the hottest part of the tip first.

welder arms
TUFFALOY
Class 2 spot welding machine arms made by Tuffaloy reduce set up time and give longer life.
Electrode holder shanks can be attached to these arms from the front, by bolting the cap over them. This means no extra clearance is
required between the arms to allow running a shank up (or down) into a hole in the arm. It makes the insertion of Tuffaloy multiple-
welding holders much easier.
One of the most common failures of welder arms is the destruction of the bolt hole threads, due to the relatively soft copper involved.
Tuffaloy arms have a transverse steel bar insert in which the bolt hole

threads are cut. This provides greatly increased thread life.

VARIABLE OFFSET HOLDER AND
STRAIGHT SHANK TIPS
These offset holders provide a range of offset dimensions
rather than one fixed amount, as with other one-piece offset
holders. The top has a long shank and can be moved in or out
to vary the offset anywhere between four and five inches.
The holders, all of Class 3 alloy, are made in three barrel
diameters: 1, 1-1/4, and 1-1/2 inches.
The tips are positional because they have no taper: they
have straight shanks, and are held in any selected position
by a locking-wedge device in the holder.
Tips are made in one and two-piece designs. The one-piece
tips are offered with the nose designs shown. The two-piece
tips are made up by combining the shanks shown here with
Tuffcap caps (normally used with No. 5 RW size Tuffcap
shanks). Either male or female tips can be used, with any
#5 nose design offered on pages 6 & 7. All integral tips and
shanks shown here are of Class 2 alloy.

high pressure welding
HIGH PRESSURE TIPS
Spot and projection welding operations may utilize pressures over 2000 lbs. TUFFALOY high-pressure tips have flat
bottoms which eliminates tip jamming in tapered holders. Assembled tip and holder heights are always the same, as
contrasted to tapered tips which can be forced into the sockets varying distances.
TUFFALOY high pressure tips can be used in the two holder styles shown: PM holders for mounting on the platens of
press-type welders, and straight holders for spot welder arm mounting. The tips are held to the holders by a threaded
coupling. Copper tungsten faced tips are available for high pressure wear and projection welding.

PM HOLDERS
TUFFALOY PM holders are mounted directly to press-
type welder platens, or are used as components of
special weld fixturing.
Platen Mounting: PM holders bolt easily to the
platen T-slots at any desired location, in a minimum
of time (no intermediary device is required). Big half-
inch mounting bolts may be used to assure good
conductivity. They are the first such standard, stocked
holders to be made available. They come in two sizes,
to match standard T-slot spacing, and to hold the 2
sizes of tips shown. The small size 1 PM holder is for
use on RWMA Size 1 press-type welders (3-1/2 in.
spacing) and the large size, 2 PM holder is for Size 2
and 3 welders (5- and 6-in. spacing). The electrodes
used do not require any particular radial positioning
to obtain proper coolant flow. These are compact
holders that may be used one-to-one or in multiples
in close proximity to one another.
Fixture Building: PM holders make special fixture
building easy too. They can be bolted to a fixture
or backup base as easily as to a platen. They are
compact and have self-contained coolant systems
that eliminate making a coolant manifold out of
the fixture.
Hose Connections: You may specify where you
want the hose connectors in the hexagonal base.
Select any two of the six possible locations and
specify by using the symbols shown on the diagram
(connector locations: A-B, or A-D, etc.). Position A-C
is standard. (A-F and C-D are not possible.)

PM HOLDERS
TUFFALOY PM holders may be mounted directly to press-

of special weld fixturing. They come in two sizes, which
match standard T-slot spacings (either of which can be
furnished to hold any of the four standard tips: 4, 5, 6
or 7 RW). The smaller holder is for use on RWMA Size 1
welders, which have the 3-1/2” spacing. The larger one
is for the Size 2 and 3 welders, which have the 5- and
6-inch spacing.
Big, half-inch mounting bolts may be used to assure
good conductivity. The holders may be used one-to-
one or in multiples closely bunched. PM holders make
special fixture building easy. They can be bolted to a
fixture or back-up base as easily as to a platen. They
are compact and have self-contained coolant systems.

automatic nut feeder system components
TUFFALOY
METRIC NUT ELECTRODES
TUFFALOY now stocks the head/pin style welding system components that adds to your selection for stud and nut
welding needs. From our standard style to our Arctic, that produces higher quality welds and longer life, you can select
the product that best meets your needs.
Heads are made from RWMA class 2 material that are an optimal cost consumable. Class 3 and 10W are available for
longer life. With a concave seat the pin locates in the center of assembly when air is applied to the system. This gives
you a repeatable location for automated nut feeders to introduce the nut to the environment.
Pins have a nonconductive surface on a steel matrix that gives longer life in a repetitive motion environment. With the
threaded head securing the pin in place it makes it easy to replace the pin to meet your requirements. TUFFALOY can
design pins for special applications.

TUFFALOY
multiple welding
QUICKEST WAY TO CUT WELDING COSTS
Increased productivity without capital investment or increased labor costs just has to spell PROFIT. Hundreds of
resistance welding users are profiting from the TUFFALOY methods of multiple welding, to produce almost any assembly
requiring closely spaced welds.
The key is to “think multiple!” Whenever the welding machine goes through a cycle, have it do more than one weld at
a time. It’s easy and practical with one of the TUFFALOY multiple welding devices: The Teeter-Tip dual tip adapter, the
Equatip dual tip holder, the Equa-Press dual tip holder, or the Tri-Spacer.
They’re ready to go to work, cutting costs and increasing production efficiency for you.
Study the multiple welding holders and adapters in this section. Learn their capabilities, “think multiple,” and you’ll
probably see many ways in which TUFFALOY multiple welding can improve your operation. Remember that TUFFALOY
is prepared to provide any special fixturing you need. Show our engineers what you require, and they’ll design a set-up
to do it.
TEETER-TIP DUAL TIP ADAPTERS
U.S. Pat. 3,356,821
You can spot or projection weld in half the time by doubling the number of welds
per machine stroke. Use Teeter-Tip dual tip adapters, which come with water-
coolant fittings to beat high heat build-up. These, adapters transmit total pressures
of 1000 lbs., and deliver equal current and pressure to each tip. They compensate
for normal electrode wear, imperfect tip dressing, and work variations up to .060”.
LIGHT-DUTY adapters have no. 4 or 5 RW shanks, tip spacing to 4 inches, tip
sockets for 1/2” or 5/8” diameter male Tuffcap caps, or 4 RW tips (5/8” cap
sockets are standard).
HEAVY-DUTY adapters have shanks from 5 to 7 RW size, tip spacing to
6 inches, tip sockets for 1/2” or 5/8” diameter male Tuffcap caps, or
4 or 5 RW tips (4 RW sockets are standard). These adapters have a
deeper, stronger body.
Two low-height 5/8” dia. cap-type tips are shown below. They are
recommended for use in these adapters. Other standard caps, both
5/8” & 1/2” dia., are tabled on the next page. You must specify the
size tip sockets you want, or the standard socket will be supplied.

EQUATIP DUAL TIP HOLDERS
U.S. Pat. No. 3,558,847
The Equatip dual tip holder is a smaller version of the
Equa-Press holder (on next page). It is more compact, and
is more economical for those applications where it will
work equally well. An even smaller device, the Equatip
adapter (not water-cooled) is shown in box below.
Using the Equatip holder, both tips contact the work
squarely, because tip axes remain parallel to direction
of force (unlike the Teeter-Tip adapters). An internal
roller equalizes current and pressure between the two
electrodes, and will compensate for work height
variations up to 1/16”.
The holders are ordered with either 1” or 1-1/2”
spacing between barrels, and with tip sockets to accept
either male Tuffcap caps (5/8” dia.) or straight No. 4 RW
electrodes. (Bent tips are not recommended.) The distance
between welds can be varied by rotating offset-nose tips in
the barrels.
Equatip holders can be supplied with straight shanks
for arm mounting, a tapered adapter shank for holder
mounting, or a cylinder adapter shank to be clamped
to a cylinder rod.
Equatip holders can be used with forces up to 1000 lbs.

EQUA-PRESSTM
DUAL TIP
HOLDERS
U.S. Pat. No. 2,979,599
Canada Pat. 637470
The Equa-Press Holder makes two identical welds at once.
When it contacts the workpiece, the forging pressure is
automatically equalized between the two electrodes,
regardless of variations in work thickness, or electrode
wear (up to 3/16”). The two tip-holding barrels are sliding
pistons, whose movements are controlled by a mechanical
equalizing slide in the housing (see cutaway drawings).
The spring’s only function is to return the barrels to a fully
extended position when there is no work contact. Maximum
conductivity is maintained through sturdy copperalloy
working parts. Spacing can vary up to 4 inches, using
TUFFALOY bent offset tips in Equa-Press holders having
the standard barrel spacing of two inches (shown).
Barrel spacing up to six inches is available as semi-
standard (see price list). These are drilled to order from
stock components. To order you must give the barrel
spacing desired, along with the Item number (from table).
Equa-Press Holders are made in two mounting styles:
platen models to mount directly to the platen on press-
type welding machines, and shank models for rocker
arm machines. All are available in two designs: the
standard and the short (close-coupled) type. The short
design is internally flood-cooled and takes up less
space in the welder.
Equa-Press holders can be used with forces up to 1500 lbs.

Note: For best results, position the holder so that a line drawn through the
electrode centers is at, or nearly at, right angles to the direction of the
welder arms. Otherwise, the magnetic field between the arms can cause an
excess of current to flow through the inboard electrode.

FOR USE WITH EQUA-PRESS HOLDER
A lower, fixed, dual tip holder is offered for use with Equa-Press
Holders. Like the Equa-Press, it has a standard two-inch tip spacing
and helps make two welds at once, precisely alike. The standard
trans-verse bar electrode shown is used when work geometry
doesn’t require tips on the lower side. They are water-cooled.

TRISPACERTM TRIPLE TIP HOLDER
U.S. Pat. No. 3,558,848
TRISPACER HOLDER
The Trispacer tip holder will make three spot welds at
one time, automatically splitting the current and the
pressure equally between the three tips. In doing so,
it compensates for variations in work thicknesses and
electrode wear-up to 3/16-in.

The three tip-holder barrels (#5 RW) are equidistant
from one another, all falling on a 1-5/8-in. diameter
circle (in the standard model shown). Using straight
tips the weld pattern would form an equilateral triangle.
However, the weld pattern can be widely varied by using
standard or special bent tips. In fact, the three welds
can be made in a straight line.
The Trispacer Holder works in the same simple,
mechanical way as the Equa-Press Holder: The tip-
holding barrels have a limited up-and-down movement,
to accommodate work conditions, and are adjusted to
deliver equal pressure by the cone-shaped equalizing
device in the housing. AlI current-carrying parts are
made of RWMA copper alloys. It is made in two styles:
to mount directly to the platen of press-type welders,
and with shanks to fit in welder arms.

fast-follow-up holders
TUFFALOY
U.S. Pat. No. 3,632,958 Canada Pat. No. 902,189
TUFFALOY fast-follow-up (low inertia) holders solve the
problem of maintaining adequate weld pressure on rapidly
collapsing projection welds-with fewer set-up problems and
reduced maintenance.
These holders can be set to deliver fast-follow-up forces
of from 140 to 1300 pounds, a range covering 90% of all
projection welding operations. They are compact, water
cooled, and easy to maintain.
Plus features of the TUFFALOY fast-follow-up holder include:
(1) wider range of pressures than any competitive make (2)
no flexible shunt-a common cause of holder failure (3) use
of standard, unmodified die springs, so if you need a spring
of different strength, it’s easily available (4) spring forces
available are clearly indicated, so it’s easy to set up for a
specific force (5) three shank sizes, or it can be platen-
mounted-the only fast-follow-up holder that can (6) extremely
low height permits use where larger units can’t be used.
TUFFALOY fast-follow-up holders can be used to limit the weld
pressure of any spot welding machine regardless of cylinder
size or air pressure. This is better than reducing air pressure,
which slows the return stroke and retards production.
Current flow follows dashed arrow
through the outer body, two split
contact rings, tapered tip socket,
and to the electrode.

RECOMMENDED USES OF RESISTANCE WELDING MATERIALS
GROUP A COPPER-BASE ALLOYS
RWMA CLASS 1 ALLOY • TUFFALOY 88
ZIRCONIUM-COPPER, suited to welding aluminum and magnesium alloys, coated materials, brass and bronze.
Class 1 alloy is superior to pure copper as an electrode material and is recommended as a general purpose material for resistance
welding use. It may be used for spot welding electrodes, seam welding wheels and welding fixture components. It is not heat treatable.
RWMA CLASS 2 ALLOY
TUFFALOY 77 CHROMIUM-COPPER, suited to welding cold- and hot-rolled steels, stainless steel, and low-conductivity brasses
and bronzes.
Class 2 alloy is a superior resistance welding electrode material, recommended for high-production operations. It is used for welding
electrodes, projection welding electrodes, seam welding shafts and bearings, flash and butt welding electrodes, and current-carrying
structural components. Available in forms for use as welding gun arms, welding platens and secondary-circuit structural members.
It is heat treatable.
TUFFALOY Z ZIRCONIUM-CHROMIUM-COPPER is suited to welding galvanized steel and other metallic-coated steel.
This is a specially heat-treated alloy which meets the minimum electrical conductivity and hardness specifications of Class 2 alloy.
RWMA CLASS 3 ALLOY • TUFFALOY 55 AND 55A
BERYLLIUM-NICKEL-COPPER (55) are suited to welding steels having high electrical resistance, such as stainless steel.
NICKEL-COPPER (55A) is a beryllium-free alloy with properties similar to TUFFALOY 55.
Class 3 alloy is recommended for projection welding electrodes, and flash and butt welding electrodes. With its higher strength it is
also used on highly-stressed current-carrying parts such as electrode shanks and heavy-duty electrode holders. It is heat treatable.
RWMA CLASS 4 ALLOY • TUFFALOY 44
BERYLLIUM-COPPER has extremely high hardness, and is recommended for projection, flash and butt welding electrodes. It has lower
conductivity than Class 3 alloy but it is harder and more wear resistant. It should be considered where there is concern with high
pressure density and severe wear, but where heating, due to its low conductivity, is not excessive.
It is used frequently in the form of inserts, tooling facings, and seam welder bushings. It is available in the annealed condition which is
more readily machined and then subsequently heat treated.
GROUP B REFRACTORY METAL COMPOSITIONS
RWMA CLASS 10 • TUFFALOY 1W
TUNGSTEN 55% – COPPER 45%, suited for facings and inserts for projection welding electrodes and flash and butt welding electrodes.
It is recommended where (relatively) high electrical conductivity and some degree of malleability is desired.
RWMA CLASS 11 • TUFFALOY 10W
TUNGSTEN 75% – COPPER 25%, suited to similar applications as Class 10, and for facing on electrode forming electrodes. It is harder
than Class 10, and is for general use in projection welding electrodes.
RWMA CLASS 12 • TUFFALOY 20W
TUNGSTEN 80% – COPPER 20%, suited for electro-forming and electro-forging facings, and for electrode facings used to upset studs
and rivets. A material for heavy-duty projection welding electrodes.
RWMA CLASS 13 • TUFFALOY 100W (Pure Tungsten)
RWMA CLASS 14 • TUFFALOY 100M (Pure Molybdenum)
Class 13 & 14 materials are used primarily for welding or electro-brazing non-ferrous metals having relatively high electrical
conductivity. They are suited to cross-wire welding of copper and brass, and for welding copper wire braid to brass or bronze terminals.
Special set-ups and procedures are required.

Many factors affecting electrode cost and useful electrode life
are briefly outlined below.
The RWMA tip numbering system has generally replaced the
old Morse taper numbers with new “RW” numbers, and has
added two new sizes, as the chart illustrates.
PART TO BE WELDED
Lay out the part for resistance welding. Designing engineer,
welding engineer and production man in charge of welding
should cooperate in securing a better product at lowest cost.
Correct design permits the use of standard straight electrodes:
or standard offset or standard angular holders if the straight
approach is not possible. Special shaped electrodes cost
more, and the difficulty of cooling the electrode is amplified.
Single spot, multiple spot, projection, or other method may
be accurately chosen to achieve lowest cost. Consult the
R.W.M.A Manual.*
MATERIAL TO BE WELDED
The weldability of the materials can be determined by consulting
your material supplier, and by reviewing recommendations
covered in the R.W.M.A Manual.*
Surface conditions, rust, oil, dirt, and, on many articles, oxide film
and even handling marks have a decided effect on weld quality.
Cleaning may have to be a part of the welding job in some cases.
ELECTRODE LIFE SAVERS
1. Use standard Tuffaloy electrodes with Tuffaloy
ejector type, self-adjusting tube, water-cooled
electrode holders wherever possible. Avoid
special or irregular shapes for lowest cost.
WELDING EQUIPMENT AND CONTROL
A welding machine of reputable quality purchased for a
particular application will be correctly designed both electrically
and mechanically, and will be supplied the correct control
equipment and electrodes for the work.
2. Use ample cold cooling water as close as practical
to the welding contact surface, properly circulated
at a minimum of 30-psi pressure, and supplied at a
rate of at least 1-1/2 gallons per minute.
On machine change-overs make sure of adequate electrical
and mechanical capacity, and see that the necessary controls
are provided. Consult us when redesigning or revising your
choice of electrodes.
3. Be sure to select the proper type and size of
electrode, taking into consideration electrode
pressure, contact area of electrode, gauge, and
nature of material to be welded. Consult the RWMA
Manual* or your Tuffaloy field engineer regarding
recommended practices. Overloading as well as
overheating shortens electrode life.

4. Good welds depend upon properly maintained
electrodes which assure an accurate surface
contact. Keep tapers clean and dress electrode
faces with lathe, emery paddle or fine file.
Use castor oil or graphite grease to facilitate
tip removal, and avoid application of insulators
such as teflon tape and other materials.

are not possible with this manual method.
• If the use of a hammer is necessary on resistance
welding machine or its components, use rubber,
plastic, brass, raw-hide or other soft material. Never
use a steel hammer.
• Check the water deflector tubes each time you install
electrodes. They should be within one quarter inch of
the bottom of the water hole of the electrode.
• If a water leak is found repair as soon as possible, or
report it to the appropriate maintenance personnel.
• Check all mechanical connections in the secondary
connections. Check all shunts and cables for damage,
replace as needed.
• Confirm there is water flow from the electrodes,
transformer, control and other cooled components
before welding.
• Perform maintenance to Resistance Welding equipment
as outlined in RWMA Bulletin 14.
• Always use the proper size water hose, if removed check
for obstructions that might impede flow.
• Keep in mind that sparks/expulsion are an indication
that something is not right at the weld. It could be
current, force, time, alignment and many other factors.
Take time, check your set up for variance from the
desired settings. Expulsion can be dangerous and
could also result in questionable product.
• When a set up will not be used for a period of time remove
the electrodes from the holders to avoid freezing into the
holder due to corrosion.
• Use fine emery cloth to dress electrode faces. If wear is
excessive remove from the machine and dress in lathe or
other controlled machine. Dressing electrodes with files
is not recommended because alignment and consistency
