Practical solutions to the successful resistance spot welding of bare and coated steels and the non-ferrous group of metals and alloys, particularly in dissimilar combinations, are generally considered to be difficult or impossible. Control of the process is crucial. Control technology is continually advancing, so modern reference sources, including recently published papers, are recommended. The interested reader is referred to information on control of the resistance welding process in the American Welding Society’s Welding Handbook, Volume 2, 8th Edition, Miami, Florida, 1991.
