Abstract
Technology of resistance welding in air and shielding gas atmosphere has been developed for joining flexible copper busbars to silver plates welded to contact pads for manufacturing flexible connections for high-voltage vacuum switches. It has been established that the use of a certain thermal-deformation cycle can provide a sound welded joint on the copper-silver foil pack. The mechanisms of deformation of the pack and formation of a welded joint have been studied. A pilot welding machine and control unit have been manufactured.
Keywords: resistance welding, autovacuum welding, foil pack, silver, copper, high-voltage vacuum switch
