This process is a modification of spot welding, in which the current and pressure are localised at the weld points. In this process, the projections are formed In the sheets to be welded by embossing in a punch press. The welding is done in a press type machine with electrodes in the form of platens which can distribute the current and pressure equally on the sheets. The advantage of this type of welding is that a number of spot welds can be made simultaneously (see Fig. 1).
