Soudure par point de résistance électrique Electrical resistance spot welding
Soudure par bouchonnage Plug welding
Under MAG shielding gas
Sertissage des panneaux extérieurs de porte Crimping of outer door panels

NOTE: the tin coating largely compensates for the risk of heat distortion caused by welding.
Application de mastic électrosoudable Application of weldable sealer
This conductive sealer is placed between two sheets to be spot welded. It provides sealing between the sheets and prevents corrosion of the spot welds.
Application de peinture à base d’aluminium Application of aluminium-based paint
It must be applied to the joining faces of each part to be plug welded. This paint conducts current and resists high temperatures; it provides anti-corrosion protection around the spot welds.
