Description: 
The Institute is concentrating its research on resistance spot 
welding. They have not only introduced and developed new equipment, i.e., 
transformers, pulse generators, and circuits for frequency changers, but 
have also studied the physical and mechanical properties of spot-welded 
joints, especially of small parts. They have also done theoretical investi- 
gations on a metal-coating process and studies on hardening of bearing rings.
