"Laminate" a Sheet to a Plate?
"Laminate" a Sheet to a Plate?
(OP)
Hi All,
I have an electrical application where I want to weld a common busbar to several contacts. I need the contacts to be flexible for tolerance/vibration considerations, but the main body should be thick busbar for high current.
My perfect solution would be to "laminate" a thin sheet of something with good electrical and welding properties (nickel, aluminum) to an aluminum plate that would serve as the busbar. This way I get the benefit of both shapes, and better conductivity than if I welded separate tabs on for each contact.
Does this type of process exist? What materials work? Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Rob

Don't know if it like having bits hanging over though.
