Squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW)is a type of electric resistance welding that brings about the weld on interfacing sheet metal pieces through which heat generated from electric resistance bring about fusion and welding of the two pieces together
Therefore, it is not meant for opening but joints but it can be used for making replacement spot welds adjacent to the original spot weld due to the smaller heat affected zone (HAZ) created by the STRSW process.
