WHAT WE WORK WITH

The main material used within Resistance Welding applications is Copper, or a form of copper, due to its high conductivity. WES are capable of working with a complete array of copper alloys, from Beryllium Copper, Chrome Copper, and Copper Zirconium through to Tungsten Copper. Beryllium alloys are used for some hard wearing components such as die holders.

Fabricated Aluminium is widely used in Gun Arms due to its strength and low weight in comparison with alternative metals. The direction of the grain is an important factor in determining the strength of an aluminium product, as is treated accordingly by the WES engineers.

Brass (e.g. high tensile HTB1) is often used in Castings of Gun Arms, and other spot welding products.

Below is a small selection of the metals that we use on a daily basis for various Resistance Welding applications.
