    摘要: An electric resistance spot welding device, comprising a pair of electrodes located on the same welding surface of an assembly to be welded. The assembly to be welded is provided with an axis of symmetry (6); the pair of electrodes are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the axis of symmetry; one end of each electrode has a special-shaped contact surface (20); the special-shaped contact surfaces are respectively offset in directions away from the axis of symmetry relative to the electrode axis, wherein the special-shaped contact surfaces are used for offsetting a current density centerline (21) formed by the electrodes in a direction away from the axis of symmetry relative to the electrode axis (11), and/or used for deflecting the tendency of the current density of each electrode away from a welding face within the assembly to be welded. The device can achieve a symmetrical and uniform shape of distal and proximal ends of a nugget with respect to the axis of symmetry, such that both the shape and stress state of the nugget can meet requirements for mechanical properties under load, thus improving the welding quality. The present application also relates to an electric resistance spot welding method.
