JOIN THE COMMITTEE/SUBCOMMITTEE

The J1 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.


PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS

AWS J1.1M/J1.1:2013

Specification for Resistance Welding Controls

This standard provides nomenclature pertaining to the design, construction, and programming of resistance welding controls. Standard calibration and performance parameters as well as labeling and documentation requirements are also outlined. The purpose is to promote standardization, safety, and proper application of resistance welding controls.

AWS J1.2M/J1.2:2016

Guide to Installation and Maintenance of Resistance Welding Machines

This guide provides general instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of common types of resistance welding equipment. Generic preventative maintenance schedules and equipment troubleshooting recommendations are provided as an overview of common weld qualification techniques and corrective actions to common weld conditions.

AWS J1.3/J1.3M:2020-AMD1

Specification for Materials Used in Resistance Welding Electrodes and Tooling

This standard specifies essential properties of materials used for resistance welding electrodes and related components, the common applications of these materials, and methods of conformance verification.

AWS RWPH: 2011

Resistance Welding Pocket Handbook

This book contains basic information on resistance welding – important “do’s” and “don’ts” – common weld defects and their probable causes- various charts including sample weld schedules.

AWS A10.1M:2007

Specification for Calibration and Performance Testing of Secondary Current Sensing Coils and Weld Current Monitors used in Single-Phase AC Resistance Welding (Historical)

This specification sets forth accepted methods for testing and describing the performance of Rogowski-type air core current sensing coils (CSC) and weld current monitors (WCM) used in the measurement of single-phase ac resistance welding currents. A definition of terms relevant to this measurement is included. CSC and system tests and calibration methods are described in detail. Detailed information that shall be made available to the user are prescribed.
