Seam Welding

Seam welding is a resistance welding process that joins overlapping metal sheets using rotating wheel electrodes to produce a continuous, leak-proof weld. It is ideal for applications requiring airtight or watertight seams, such as fuel tanks, radiators, and metal containers. Known for its consistency and strength, seam welding ensures high-quality joints with minimal distortion, making it suitable for both automated and high-volume production. Seam welding is a type of resistance welding where overlapping sheets of metal are joined with a continuous weld made by rotating electrode wheels. As the metal sheets pass between the electrodes, electrical current

and pressure are applied, producing a series of overlapping weld nuggets that form a leak-proof, continuous seam. This method is commonly used for applications requiring airtight or watertight joints, such as in fuel tanks, radiators, and metal drums. Seam welding is valued for its speed, consistency, and ability to produce strong, uniform welds on thin sheet metals.
