Abstract:
The present invention provides a spot resistance welding electrode cap for welding two or more work-pieces together, including a substantially cylindrical body having an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a tapered interior cavity for frictionally fitting over an electrode shank. The exterior surface of the body includes a plurality of longitudinally extending depressions or flutes formed therein which provide an increased external surface area to the electrode cap, thus increasing the ability to transfer additional amounts of heat. The electrode cap further includes a plurality of fins disposed on the interior surface of the body within the interior cavity. The free ends of the fins are chamfered in order to ease the transition of coolant flowing throughout the shank proximate the electrode cap.
