Resistance welding is the most widely used joining process in automobile industry. Several types of resistance welding are developed for certain applications such as localized welding and continuous welding for pressure-tight joints. The resistance spot welding and seam welding are variants of resistance welding. This paper presents a review of effect of process parameters on variants of resistance welding, namely resistance spot welding and resistance seam welding. Particular attention is paid to the response variables and their variations according to input parameters. ANOVA and Taguchi method has proved to be very efficient tools for controlling and optimizing the effect of process parameters on response variables such as tensile strength, hardness, nugget diameter. Welding current is considered as most influential factor among all process parameters.
