Step Welding

Step (Indirect) Welding is often used when the workpieces are configured in such a way that only one side of the workpiece is accessible with an electrode, or there is a large thermal imbalance. The welding current flows from the first electrode, through the workpiece, through the area of the weld, through the other workpiece and into the other electrode.
