Suggested Topics for Future Research in Resistance Welding

A number of "state-of-the-art" reviews have recently been carried out in the field of resistance welding, from which a series of areas can be identified where research should either be continued at a higher level of effort or where new research programmes should be initiated. The opportunity has been taken to summarise these areas in a single document which it is hoped could be used as a basis to generate appropriate work programmes in universities, research institutions or industrial research departments.
