Yes, resistance welding is used in production welding. It is used extensively in the automotive industry.
Arc welding uses an electric arc to melt and join metal pieces together, while resistance welding uses heat generated by the resistance to electric current flow between two metal pieces to join them together. Arc welding is more versatile and can be used for various types of metals, while resistance welding is more suited for high-speed production and is commonly used in automotive and appliance manufacturing.
The industries that commonly have production supervisor jobs are mainly manufacturing industries. Some of the examples are Industrial Steel Fabrication/Welding and Technicians.
Mainly In spot welding & resistance welding two type welding machines are used :- 1. Air Cooled & 2. water Cooled.
Arc. It's where electrical resistance is used to create the heat for the welding process.

There are a few commonly used welding process. The top used are shielded metal and arc welding.
GUCCI
The standard for welding and cutting operations.
Resistance welding plants are used in fence manufacturing.
Spot welding is known as resistance welding because the the two pieces of metal melt together at the point of highest resistance to current flow, basically when the electricity flows through the pieces it heats up at the point of highest resistance that is where where the metal pieces touch and in a direct line from the two contact tips on the spot welder. Simple!
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.
Resistance spot welding typically occurs at temperatures between 1,800 and 2,500 degrees Celsius at the welding point. The high temperature is generated due to the electrical resistance between the workpieces, causing them to melt and fuse together.
