An updated pinch-welding capability was developed. The work included development and implementation of unique tooling (70556200-T0l) to allow reproduction of the Savannah River Plant (SRP) confined pinch-welding process using a 3-phase, 100 KVA resistance welder. The new process replaced an existing process in use at KCD since about 1978. A statistical experiment was designed and utilized to define the operational envelope of the new process and to define acceptable machine parameters to produce the pinch-weld. An acceptance criteria for production welds was developed and implemented.
