  • METHOD FOR CONNECTING AN EXHAUST PIPE WITH A FLANGE, FLANGE AND EXHAUST PIPE CONNECTION, AND RESISTANCE PRESSURE WELDING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20090206597
    Abstract: A resistance pressure welding device includes a mounting to support a flange and at least one exhaust pipe to be welded to the flange and arranged in a flange opening of the flange, with the exhaust pipe having an end in the form of an outwardly directed collar. The collar is pressed against the flange by an inner electrode which is movable in an axial direction of the exhaust pipe to press. An outer electrode is placed in spaced-apart surrounding relationship to the inner electrode, and movable in the axial direction of the exhaust pipe against the flange from the same side as the inner electrode so that the welding current can be conducted across the contact surfaces of the collar and the flange.
