4. CMT WELDING PROCESS
Extremely low heat input and an exceptionally
stable arc set CMT apart from conventional
MIG/MAG welding. The CMT (Cold Metal
Transfer) welding process allows users to achieve
optimum results when joining different materials,
for example steel and aluminium. CMT welding is
ideal for joining steel and aluminium.
Furthermore, the CMT welding process is also
suited to the virtually spatter-free brazing of hot-
galvanised and electrolytically galvanised sheets
with a welding wire made from a copper-silicon
alloy. Minimal distortion of the galvanised sheet
occurs and the light-gauge welding of aluminium
sheets (from 0.3 millimetres) is also possible,
whereby the low heat input eliminates the need
for pool support. Equally impressive results are
achieved when welding stainless steels and
magnesium.

SPOT WELDING PROCESS
Spot welding (also known as resistance spot
welding) is a resistance welding process. This
welding process is used primarily for welding two
or more metal .
The process involves applying pressure and heat to the
weld area using shaped alloy copper electrodes which
convey an electrical current through the weld pieces.
The material melts, fusing the parts together at which
point the current is turned off, pressure from the
electrodes is maintained and the molten “nugget”
solidifies to form the joint.
The welding heat is generated by the electric current,
which is transferred to the workpiece through copper
alloy electrodes. Copper is used for the electrodes as it
has a high thermal conductivity and low electrical
resistance compared to most other metals, ensuring
that the heat is generated preferentially in the work
pieces rather than the electrodes.
