Resistance microwelding of crossed Pt–10Ir and 316 LVM stainless steel wires

Resistance microwelding of dissimilar materials such as Pt–10Ir and 316 low carbon vacuum melted stainless steel is becoming increasingly important for making electrical connections in medical devices. The joining of dissimilar materials increases flexibility in design while providing economic advantages, where more cost effective materials can be substituted for traditional materials. In this work, the performance of joints made using …
