    The document provides do's and don'ts for resistance welding electrodes. The do's include using the proper electrode material for the job, standard electrodes where possible, and suitable tip diameters for the thickness being welded. The don'ts involve avoiding unidentified electrodes, irregular tips when standard tips can be used, small tips for heavy gauge welding, and not turning cooling water on before welding. Proper cooling and maintenance of electrodes is important.

    DOS AND DONTS FOR RESISTANCE WELDING ELECTRODES


    DOS
    1.

    Use the proper electrode material for the job


    you are doing.

    2.

    Use standard electrodes wherever possible.

    3.

    Use the most suitable tip diameter for the


    thickness of stock being welded.

    4.

    Use open sight drains to observe more


    readily the water flow through the holders.

    5.

    Connect the water inlet hose to the proper


    holder inlet so that the water flows through the

    DONTS
    1. Never use unidentified electrodes or electrode
    materials.
    2. Avoid special, offset or irregular tips when the job
    can be done with a standard straight tip.
    3. Dont use small tips on heavy gauge welding jobs
    or large tips on small work.
    4. Dont forget to turn on the cooling water full force
    before starting to weld.

    center cooling tube first.


    6.

    Internally cool the spot welding tips with cool


    water flowing at a rate of at least 1/2 gallon
    per minute through each tip.

    7.

    Be sure the internal water cooling tube of the


    holder projects into the tip water hole to
    within 1/4" of the tip hole bottom.

    8.

    Adjust the internal water cooling tube of the


    holder to the proper height when changing to
    a different length tip.

    9.

    Be sure top of adjustable water cooling tube in

    5. Never use water hose that will not fit the holder
    water connection nipples snugly.
    6. Do not allow water connections to become leaky,
    clogged or broken.
    7. Avoid using holders with leaking or deformed
    tapers.
    8. Never use electrode holders that do not have an
    adjustable internal water cooling tube.
    9. Do not permit adjustable water tube to be frozen

    holders is cut at an angle so as to avoid

    by accumulation of deposits. A few drops of oil

    jamming tip down and shutting water off.

    periodically will keep the tube free.

    10. Place a thin film of cup grease on the tip


    taper prior to inserting in the holder, to make
    it easier to remove.
    11. Use ejector type holders for easy removal of tips
    and to avoid damage to tip tapers.
    12. Keep the tip taper and holder taper clean, smooth
    and free of foreign deposits.
    13. Dress spot welding electrodes frequently to
    maintain the quality of the welds.
    14. Dress electrodes in a lathe to their original

    10. Do not allow electrodes to remain idle in tapered


    holder seats for extended periods.
    11. Dont use pipe wrenches or similar tools in
    removing electrodes.
    12. Avoid using white lead or similar compounds to
    seal a leaking taper.
    13. Never permit a spot welding tip to mushroom
    enough to make dressing difficult.
    14. Never dress electrodes with a coarse file.

    contour whenever possible.


    15. Use a rawhide or rubber mallet for striking holder
    or tips in aligning operations.
    16. Provide flood cooling on both sides of the seam
    welding wheel.
    17. Use properly designed knurling wheels to maintain
    proper seam welding wheel shape.

    15. Dont pound on the holder or tip with a steel


    hammer in aligning the welder arms.
    16. Avoid the use of seam welder wheels too thin to
    stand the heat or pressure of your job.
    17. Do not permit seam welding wheel to run off the
    corners of the work being welded.
