Abstract
A composite electrode configuration prevents mushrooming of resistance spot welding electrodes due to local high contact pressure and current densities. For a truncated electrode, an outer sleeve of high strength and high electrical resistivity material is attached to the end of the electrode and takes the high contact stress at the edge of the flat end face. A spherical end electrode has a plug of higher strength material in the center where the highest contact stress exists, and the outer sleeve reduces the joule heating effect. A transverse insulating spacer is a thermal and electrical barrier.
