What is another word for spot weld?
Pronunciation: [spˈɒt wˈɛld] (IPA) 
Spot weld is a term used in welding to describe a type of welding that joins two pieces of metal together at specific points. While spot welding is the most common term used to describe this type of welding, there are several other synonyms that are used interchangeably, such as resistance welding, projection welding, and stud welding. Resistance welding refers to the use of electric current to fuse metal together while projection welding is used when a raised surface on one metal piece is placed against the other.
