Silver -Based and Refractory Material Tips, Buttons, and Rivets
Most buttons or tips used in welding applications will include a contact material clad to one or more other materials, such as copper or steel. Cladding supports multiple layers and is compatible with a variety of materials with significant form, and surface design flexibility.
Refractory material contacts can also be sold as discrete tips for assembly in our customers’ in-house operations.
