  • Method and system for welding parts together
    Patent number: 8933362
    Abstract: A method for welding weldable parts together, for instance for welding annular objects (1), wherein the parts (IA, IB) are subjected to a thermal resistance upset welding process for making the parts (IA, IB) flow together at contact surfaces (S), wherein the welding process (W) depends on a number of input parameters, comprising a pressure exerted on the parts to be welded and a heating current fed through the parts (IA, IB), wherein a number of welding process output parameters, for instance a welding temperature and a displacement of the parts (IA, IB), depend on the input parameters, wherein, during the welding process (W), at least one welding temperature and/or electrical resistance of said parts (IA, IB) is determined, wherein the result of the welding temperature determination and/or resistance determination is used by at least one regulator (R) for automatically readjusting a number of welding process input parameters during the welding process (W), or for automatically adjusting the welding process
