Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method including: clamping a first combination of metal workpieces between a first pair of electrodes; applying a welding current between the first pair of electrodes to weld the first combination of metal workpieces, wherein a magnitude of the welding current is set such that a resistance value between the first pair of electrodes falls within a specified range; measuring the resistance value between the first pair of electrodes, during welding of the first combination of metal workpieces, based on (i) the magnitude of the welding current and (ii) a magnitude of a voltage between the first pair of electrodes; and determining, based on the resistance value measured deviating from a specified permissible range, that a welding defect has occurred in the first combination of metal workpieces.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method including: clamping a first combination of metal workpieces between a first pair of electrodes; and applying a welding current between the first pair in accordance with a preset current profile over time, the preset current profile being divided into (i) a high current application period, and (ii) a main current application period after the high current application period, the high current application period being a period during which a magnitude of the welding current is gradually reduced from its maximum value to a required value for welding the first combination to blow contaminants off the first combination, the main current application period being a period during which the magnitude of the welding current is reduced from the required value more gradually than during the high current application period to weld the first combination.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method including: clamping a first combination of metal workpieces between a first pair of electrodes; applying a constant measurement current between the first pair of electrodes; measuring a resistance profile between the first pair of electrodes over time based on (i) a value of the constant measurement current and (ii) a value of a voltage between the first pair of electrodes; clamping a second combination of metal workpieces between a second pair of electrodes, the second combination of metal workpieces being equivalent to the first combination of metal workpieces; applying a welding current between the second pair of electrodes; and varying magnitude of the welding current in accordance with the resistance profile measured.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes: a plurality of primary tubes that receive a refrigerant distributed from a primary header tank; a primary turn tank and a secondary turn tank that receive the refrigerant from the primary tubes; and a plurality of secondary tubes that receive the refrigerant distributed from the secondary turn tank. An internal flow passage, which extends from the primary tubes to the secondary tubes via the primary turn tank and the secondary turn tank, has a primary region and at least one secondary region that are arranged one after another in a stacking direction. A pressure loss of the primary region and a pressure loss of the at least one secondary region are different from each other when a flow rate of the refrigerant in the primary region is the same as a flow rate of the refrigerant in the at least one secondary region.
