Spot Welding Methods - Different spot welding methods are
(i) Direct
(ii) Indirect (or series)
(iii) Push pull
(i) Direct welds. It is a welding method in which one or more electrodes oppose each other, contacting both sides of the work and with the current passing from the electrodes on one side directly through the work into the electrodes on the other side and back to the welding transformer.
(ii) Series welds. It is a welding method in which two or more spots are produced simultaneously with only one common but indirect current path.

In series welding, a portion of the secondary current by passes (shunts) any weld nugget being formed. This shunt current passes through one of the panels being welded.
(iii) Push pull welds
A push pull system employs transformers with an electrically reversed polarity arrangement wherein two transformers complement each other to form circulating welding current circuit. Opposing electrodes are connected to different transformers and are of opposite polarity. Two spot welds may be obtained simultaneously.
