Welding, Cross Wire

Welding where a point contact is provided by the natural incidence of the two wires, and consequently a localized area offers high resistance to the flow of welding current. This type of joint, therefore, is projection welding. The interfaces rapidly reach welding heat, and, mechanical pressure is available to forge the joint into a homogeneous weld with a strength factor comparable to the parent material.
