    welders and recently xed station weld guns. both provide good
    alignment and can be designed for low inertia fast follow up systems. 
    Rocker arm machines are not a good choice because they apply force in
    an arc and do not hold good alignment. In all cases fast follow up

    With the advent of MFDC (Mid Frequency) controls and their accuracy
    these units are a logical player in projection welding. To make them
    suitable in this application, fast rise time technology has been
    Popular
    developed because standard MFDC has a slow current rise. Another

    system that has shown some application for nut and stud welding is CD

    electrodes (capacitive discharge welders). This technology has been around for
    years. In the recent years CD has evolved into higher energy machines

    (/tags/mid- welding:
    frequency-
    current.html) First it allows the joining of materials that otherwise cannot be

    (/tags/mid- hard to get hot enough to form a weld nugget. Coppers and brasses

    Secondly a resistance braze can be performed at a lower temperature
    (/tags/mfdc.html)
    than a spot weld. We do not have to bring the work piece up to near its
    fast follow up
    melting point. We only need to bring the braze shim to its melting point
    (/tags/fast-
    which is much lower. This means the work piece can preserve some or
    follow-up.html)
    all of its mechanical properties. Post heat treatment may not be
    heat balancing
    necessary.
    (/tags/heat-
    balancing.html) The third advantage is that we can control the area of heat application
    midfrequency to a small area of the part. We are only heating to a modest
    (/tags/midfrequency.html)
    temperature and we can protect other areas if desired with cooling. The
    midfreq rest of the part stays strong for the end application.

    welding/34-low-inertia-
    machines/187-how-do-
    resistance-brazing-schedules-
    vary-from-spot-welds.html)
    The goal of a resistance brazing schedule is to bring a thin sheet of
    braze alloy to its melting point and form a llet around the periphery of
    the part being joined. The squeeze cycle is basically the same as in spot
    welding – put the parts under the desired holding force. The o cycle is
    the same – cool and resolidify the braze material. What varies is the
    weld or heating portion of the cycle. Spot welds generally take a few
    cycles, or milliseconds. The time is generally less than a second. A
    resistance braze frequently will take several seconds up to many. It
    depends upon the size of the part and how conductive the material is.

    How much force is used for


    resistance brazing?
    (/projection-welding/34-low-
    inertia-machines/186-how-
    much-force-is-used-for-
    resistance-brazing.html)
    In resistance brazing we are not spot welding but we still are passing
    modest currents so an adequate force is necessary to avoid arcing. The
    main goal of the force is to hold the parts together for current ow and
    avoid arcing so the braze alloy is not arced out of the joint. This is
    usually a modest force developed by trial with set up parts. Joule
    Heating H= I2rt will then generate the energy necessary for the braze
    material to melt. When molten braze metal is visible in the let the
    current can be turned o and allowed to cool under pressure until
    solidi ed. Then the electrode can open and the part is ready to be
    ejected or removed. The temperature that the part reached at the joint
    is lower than it would have been if spot welded but it will be hot so
    caution is required.

    What electrodes are used for


    resistance brazing?
    (/projection-welding/33-fast-
    follow-up-holders/185-what-
    electrodes-are-used-for-
    resistance-brazing.html)
    Resistance brazing is not spot welding so the electrode face geometry
    does not have to concentrate the heat into a small area. Frequently the
    electrode face is machined to conform to the surface that it is in contact
    with. Frequently the electrode will contact the entire work piece surface.
    In some cases the electrode faces is milled out so the work piece can be
    nested into the face of the electrode in order to insure proper part
    placement and alignment. A small vacuum is sometimes pulled through
    the center of the electrode to hold the part in place before the electrode
    closes. This is very common for small part brazing.
