*Contact materials <br />Ag, Ag-Alloys., Ag/Ni (SINIDUR), Ag/CdO (DODURIT CdO), Ag/SnO<sub>2</sub> (SISTADOX), Ag/ZnO (DODURIT ZnO) and Ag/C (GRAPHOR D) with brazable backing, refractory materials on W -, WC- and Mo-basis<br />
*Brazing alloys <br />L-Ag 15P, L-Ag 55Sn et.al.<br />
With one or more weld pulses the roof shaped wire end – from the previous cut-off operation – is welded to the base material strip while exerting pressure by the clamp-electrode. Under optimum weld conditions the welded area can reach up to 120% of the original cross-sectional area of the contact wire. After welding the wire is cut off by wedge shaped knives, forming again a roof shaped weld projection. The welded wire segment is subsequently formed into the desired contact shape by stamping or orbital forming. This welding process can easily be integrated into automated production lines. The contact material must however be directly weldable, meaning that it cannot contain graphite or metal oxides.
*Contact materials <br />Ag, Ag-Alloys, Au- and Pd-Alloys, Ag/Ni (SINIDUR)<br />
*Carrier materials <br />Cu, Cu-Alloys, Cu clad Steel, et.al.<br />
required need for specific switching applications, this joining process has gained great economical importance.
