Following the deformation and wear of the electrode tip, the area of the spot welding head will increase, and the strength of the solder joint will be lost. In order to ensure the size of the nugget and the strength of the solder joint, the welding time and welding current can be mutually compensated within a certain range. In order to obtain a certain strength of the solder joints, high current and short time (strong premise, also called hard specification)can be used, or small current and long time(weak premise, also called soft specification). The choice of hard specifications for spot welding heads or soft specification depends on the function, thickness of the metal and the power of the welding machine used. There is an upper limit for the current and time required to withstand the metal of incompatible function and thickness, and the duration shall prevail.
