kontaktkeevituse/takistuskeevituse protsess/operatsioon, kus pealikuti asetsevate detailide vahel tekib punktikujuline liide keevitusvoolu ja survejõudu tekitavate elektroodide toimel (vt kontaktkeevitus; vrd joonkontaktkeevitus, reljeefkontaktkeevitus), a resistance welding process that produces coalescence at their faying surfaces of a joint by heat obtained from resistance to the flow of welding current through the workpieces from electrodes that serve to concentrate the welding current and pressure at the weld areas (see: resistance welding; compare: resistance seam welding, resistance projection welding)
