Abstract: A local resistance heating device, with a controlled atmosphere, includes two end members and a mid member. The two end members are respectively connected with an anode pole and a cathode pole. Each end member has an air channel. The air channel of one of the end members is adapted to connect with an output terminal of a gas supplier, and the air channel of the other one of the end members is adapted to connect with a sucking terminal of the gas supplier. The mid member is arranged between the two end members. The two end members and the mid member jointly define a heating room communicating with the air channels of the two end members.

Abstract: A resistance spot welding method for a lap joint multi-metal sheets which may improve the welding efficiency and nugget quality comprises: coating a joining zone of one of two mutually facing surfaces of two adjacent metal sheets with an active agent with high resistivity to form a welding region, and clamping the welding region with an upper welding electrode and a lower welding electrode and providing an electric current into the welding region. The active agent with high resistivity generates high heat energy to melt the joining zone and join the two adjacent metal sheets. The active agent with high resistivity has a resistivity much greater than a resistivity of each of the two metal sheets, and the active agent with high resistivity consists of multi-component powders and an organic solvent.
