Best Answer

Seam welding- resistance welding process involving the use of (normally) copper or copper alloy rollers to simultaneously pass high current (10^4 amps and usually in pulses) and apply pressure to bond a lap seam between two pieces of sheet metal.

Percussion Welding- arc welding process involving the use of a capacitor bank to bond on the order of milliseconds. A high current electric arc is developed between the items to be joined, and the items are rapidly accelerated together.

What is difference between seam welding and spot welding?

The only difference between the two is that projection welding requires preparation of the joint members in the way of adding a preformed dimple or projection. Spot welding is used without such preparation to the joint members. it's just heat and pressure.


What do you mean by seam welding where it is used?

seam welding is a process that produces a weld at the faying surfaces of two similar metals where its used depends on which metal you look to weld


Difference between ERW and SAW welding?

SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.


Why seam welding is better than that of spot welding?

The clue is in the question! If you weld a seam, or a spot which do you think is stronger? Take the example of the ordinary household radiator, it is seam welded, and they are usually watertight, it would be hard to make a waterproof seal with a spot welder and if you did try you would find it is very slow. A seam welder uses two rollers as the contacts instead of the copper rods, the rollers are inevitable faster as they can move along the piece easily and you get a perfect seal or seam when done, excellent.


Difference between seamless and erw pipe?

ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) pipe is manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length. Seamless pipe is manufactured by extruding the metal to the desired length; hence ERW pipe has a welded joint in its cross-section, while seamless pipe does not have any joint in its cross-section through-out its length.
