Abstract :
Electrical contact resistance is of critical importance in resistance welding and depends on pressure, temperature, surface condition and steel grade. In this paper we present the experimental investigations on the contact electrical resistance with two distinct techniques for different pressures and temperatures and on different types of contacts (electrode-metallic sheet or metallic sheet metallic sheet).
