Welding wheel is electrode wheel of welding seam wheel machine. Seam welding machine is similar to spot welding machine, but different are that electrode of spot welding machine is rod and welding is instantaneous discharge. Electrode of seam wheel machine is two rounds of electrode and electrode discharge is continuous or interval discharge.

An electrode wheel made of copper alloy is a component used in seam welding machines. Seam welding is a type of resistance welding process commonly used for joining sheet metal components.
The electrode wheel is designed to apply pressure and conduct electrical current to create a weld between two metal surfaces. It typically consists of a copper alloy disc that rotates and applies pressure onto the workpiece. The copper alloy is chosen for its excellent electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and good wear resistance.
The round electrode disc is the part of the electrode wheel that comes into direct contact with the workpiece. It is usually smooth and flat to ensure even pressure distribution and optimal electrical contact during the welding process. The round shape helps in achieving a consistent and continuous weld along the seam.
The copper alloy electrode wheel and round electrode disc are essential components in seam welding machines, as they provide the necessary electrical conductivity and mechanical pressure required to create strong and durable welds in sheet metal applications.
The materials of welding wheels include chromium zirconium copper, alumina copper, beryllium copper, beryllium cobalt copper, tungsten copper, rare earth copper alloy, etc. Commonly used materials are chromium zirconium copper and beryllium copper. We mainly select materials based on the usage conditions, welding materials and required welding life. The welding wheel can weld galvanized sheets, low carbon steel, low alloy steel, coated steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.
The welding wheel refers to the electrode wheel of the seam welder. The electrodes of the seam welder are two wheel-shaped electrodes, the upper and lower ones, and the discharge is continuous or interval discharge. The welding wheel is suitable for continuous welding operations at the joints of thin metal sheets, and is widely used in the welding of heat exchangers, radiators, automobile fuel tanks, iron cans, etc. During welding, the upper and lower wheel-shaped electrodes clamp the workpiece to be welded, and the welding wheels act as electrodes, respectively releasing positive and negative currents through the workpiece to be welded, so that the workpieces are contacted to generate heat, and the workpieces are fused.
