=== Seam–Welded Contact Strip Materials (FDR–Profiles)===
Seam–welding is the process by which the contact material in the form of a solidwire, narrow clad strip, or profile is attached to the carrier strip by overlapping orcontinuous weld pulses between rolling electrodes ''<xr id="fig:Seam-welding process (schematic)"/> (Fig. 3.6)''. The weld joint iscreated by simultaneous effects of heat and pressure. Except for the very smallactual weld joint area the original hardness of the carrier strip is maintainedbecause of the limited short time of the heat supply. Therefore also spring-hardbase materials can be used without loss of their mechanical strength. The use ofclad contact pre-materials and profiles allows to minimize the use of the costlyprecious metal component tailored to the need for optimum reliability over theexpected electrical life of the contact components. *Typical configurations of seam–welded contact strips and stamped partsbild

*Quality criteria and tolerances
Strength properties and dimensional tolerances of toplay profiles are derived from thestandards DIN EN 1652 and DIN EN 1654 for Cu alloys..
