Resistance welding method

TLDR
In this article, a resistance welding method is described, including the steps of contacting electrodes to two parts to be welded together, faying the two parts at a location, and passing electrical current between the electrodes and through said location, wherein the improvement comprises, on the parts, a roughened surface means for decreasing heat generation where an electrode makes contact and at the faying location, the coating means performing the function of generating heat to form a nugget without expulsion.
