Cold welding occurs when the weld is not heated properly and does not adhere properly to the metal parts. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  1. Insufficient current: If the electrical current is too low, the weld will not get hot enough. Be sure to check the current setting and increase it if necessary.
  2. Short welding time: If the welding time is too short, the weld will not have enough time to heat up properly. Adjust the welding time as needed.
  3. Insufficient welding force: If the applied welding force is too low, the weld will not adhere properly to the metal parts. Increases the welding force on the machine.
  4. Overlap too large: Too large an overlap can cause a cold weld. Make sure the overlap is within the recommended specifications for your machine and material.
  5. Thread condition: Check the thread width and surface condition. If the wire is damaged or dirty, it can affect the quality of the weld. Clean or replace the thread as necessary.
  6. Condition of the welding sheaves: Make sure that the welding sheaves are in good condition and properly adjusted. If worn or damaged, they may need to be replaced or adjusted.
  7. Cleaning and maintenance: Make sure the machine is clean and well maintained. Accumulation of dirt or debris can affect the quality of the weld.

    I suggest that you check these aspects on your Soudronic welder and make the necessary adjustments. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Soudronic technical support for further assistance.
