High Equipment Cost of Spot Welding offsets by Easy Automation

Resistance spot welding is being used for joining plates of fuel tanks, railway tracks, and domestic radiators, among others. This is evident since spot welding is estimated to hold the highest revenue share among all process types in the U.S. resistance welding products market. However, shortcomings of resistance spot welding involve low strength in the case of discontinuous welds and high equipment cost. As such, advantages including easy automation, low fumes, and no requirement for filler materials tend to offset its disadvantages.

The ever-increasing demand for lighter, economical, and low-cost vehicles is estimated to create long-term revenue opportunities pertaining to resistance spot welding.

Analysts’ Viewpoint

Even though the automotive industry is starving in terms of incremental opportunities due to the COVID-19 crisis, long-term growth opportunities lie in producing electrodes, round bars, and welding wheels, among others. The automotive industry is supported by the use of high strength steel sheet combinations, chemical compositions, and thickness using spot welding. The U.S. resistance welding products market is projected to advance at a modest CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period. Spot welding is challenged with possible defects such as the explosion of metal near weld site and asymmetrical spot weld marks. Hence, stakeholders should increase awareness about resistance spot welding using additive manufacturing in zinc-coated steel sheets for the automotive industry instead of conventional resistance spot welding methods and other examples to offset disadvantages.
