C1 COMMITTEE ON RESISTANCE WELDING
C1 COMMITTEE ON RESISTANCE WELDING
C1 COMMITTEE ON RESISTANCE WELDING
SCOPE
The C1 Committee on Resistance Welding is responsible for the preparation of standards related to resistance welding processes, and their applications for various materials, generic weld acceptance criteria for the resistance welding industry and certification of equipment operators.
Committee Leadership
Join the Committee
Join the Committee
The C1 Committee seeks volunteers to participate in its standards development process. The committee is recruiting all types of members as well as members with specific interests (Consultants, Educators, General Interest, and Users) in regard to the committee’s scope. Contact Ady Celaya to learn more about this committee’s work and/or complete the Technical Committee Application.
As part of the standards development process, joining this committee will give you access to Accuris Engineering Workbench to streamline your workflow.

Recommended Practices for Resistance Welding
This Recommended Practices is a collection of data and procedures that are intended to assist the user in setting up resistance welding equipment to produce resistance welded production parts. While the recommendations included are not expected to be final procedures for every production part or every welding machine, they serve as starting points from which a user can establish acceptable welding machine settings for specific production welding applications. In some cases, recommended machine data is not available. In these instances, some description of the process is given to assist the reader in determining if the process might be suitable for the application.
