arc


Explanation:
You're right, arc welding or more properly soldadura por arco eléctrico in Spanish, but not "resistance welding".

I think the term chisporroteo refers to the arc between the welding electrode and the material being welded which resembles a continious spark and in opposition to resistance welding where by means of heat generated by the electrical resistance of the own materials being welded

tope. Las dos piezas que hay que soldar
se sujetan entre unas mordazas por las que pasa la corriente, las cuales están conectadas a un
transformador que reduce la tensión de red a
la de la soldadura. Las
superficies que se van a
unir, a consecuencia de
la elevada resistencia al
paso de la corriente que
circula por las piezas, se
calientan hasta la temperatura conveniente para la soldadura. En este
momento se interrumpe la
corriente, y se aprietan las dos piezas fuertemente una
contra otra. Una variante de este método es no ejercer
presión sino dejar que entre las piezas se realicen
múltiples arcos eléctricos, llamado por chisporroteo
