A method of resistance welding first and second parts formed of dissimilar materials includes disposing a first electrode on a side of the first part and a second electrode on a side of the second part. Grooves separated by raised portions are formed in a faying surface of the second part. Pressure is applied to the first and second parts via the set of electrodes, and the parts are heated via the electrodes to form a joint between the parts. A welded assembly includes metallic first and second parts welded together. The second part may have a faying surface defining a number of grooves separated by raised portions. The faying surfaces of the parts may be disposed at 10-80 degree angles with respect to a first part axis (and/or a welding pressure axis).

Provided is a joint component manufacturing method for reducing occurrence of burrs upon bonding between a first member having a hole and a second member having a shaft portion and firmly bonding both members. In the method for manufacturing a joint component 100, a hole-side weak press-fit portion 112 is formed at a hole 111 of a flat plate ring-shaped first member 110. Moreover, each of a shaft-side weak press-fit portion 122 and a shaft-side strong press-fit portion 124 is formed at a shaft portion 121 of a cylindrical second member 120. The hole-side weak press-fit portion 112 and the shaft-side weak press-fit portion 122 are defined by a first weak press-fit interference Lw1 formed thinner than a first strong press-fit interference Ls1. The shaft-side strong press-fit portion 124 is defined by a first strong press-fit interference Ls1 as the minimum necessary press-fit interference for electric resistance welding upon electric resistance welding between the hole 111 and the shaft portion 121.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a spark plug of the type in which a tip is joined to a ground electrode. In a positioning step, the ground electrode is positioned with respect to a first electrode by means of a pressing member. In a tip pressing step, the tip is pressed against a tip weld site of the ground electrode by means of a second electrode. In a welding step, the tip is resistance welded to the tip weld site of the ground electrode by the passage of electric current between the first and second electrodes.

A method of remanufacturing a prechamber assembly includes determining a width W of an original circumferential weld bead that extends around and joins a proximal end of an outer peripheral wall of a prechamber housing and a distal end of an outer peripheral wall of a body assembly, cutting through the weld bead in order to separate the prechamber housing from the body assembly, and removing material from an outer peripheral portion of a distal end portion of the body assembly. The method includes removing the material in an axial direction parallel to the central axis of the prechamber assembly for a distance that is from 2.5-3 times the width W.
