Searching for 'flexible' electrode

[Tigerdawg]

I have a situation where I need to find a flexible electode for an automated welding process. The electrode must be flexible because the required contact area is not consistant. We are looking at possible making a mat out of braided copper. Does anyone know a source of braided copper connectors that has enough knowledge to guide us in this direction? Is there an alternative that we haven't thought of?

Would you describe the automated welding process you plan? Is it an arc process, a resistance process or an induction process?

It is a resistance welding process with one or more projections on one of the parts to be welded.
