This paper will familiarize the manufacturing jeweler with state-of-the-art Resistance welding techniques and their application to porosity repair. Resistance welding offers a viable alternative to traditional flame soldering. The reduced heat buildup of resistance welding often eliminates a need to remove stones before repairing porosity flaws.

Porosity flaws adjacent to settings are often the most difficult to repair. Resistance welding techniques offer the manufacturing jeweler the prospect of substantial cost savings in both time and materials.
