In order to reduce the deficits in single-sided resistance welding (SSSW), single-sided resistance brazing represents a perspective alternative. Due to the reduced thermal and mechanical damage, the dynamic load capacity of the component increases. Because of the lack of electrode support on the inside of the tube, the choice of the optimum electrode force is also important here to avoid deformations and splashes during the process. In the following article, numerically supported investigations are therefore presented in order to show the force influence during single-sided resistance brazing.
