Abstract: A method of coating metal parts, comprising providing a metal part of a first metal material, applying a foil of a second metal material to the metal material onto the metal part in a bearing area, and irradiating the foil applied on the metal part in at least part of the bearing area with a laser.

Abstract: An electrical contact part comprising, a carrier substrate of a metallic material, a metallic coating applied to the carrier substrate, and a coating barrier material applied to the carrier substrate in a partial area of the carrier substrate, wherein the coating barrier material substantially prevents coating of the carrier substrate in the portion.

Abstract: A connection arrangement comprising a metallic flat conductor having an at least quadrangular cross-sectional profile and at least two opposing surfaces extending longitudinally parallel to each other at least in an end region, a first through-opening between the surfaces in the end region, the first through-opening being formed for receiving a bolt, at least one second through-opening between the surfaces in the end region, the second through-opening being formed to receive a metallic terminal, the terminal being formed as a flat part and bearing flatly with a contact surface against one of the surfaces of the flat conductor in the end region.

Abstract: An electrical conductor comprising a flat conductor formed of a solid metallic material, the flat conductor having at least two opposite broad sides, two opposite narrow sides and two opposite end sides and having an at least quadrangular cross-sectional profile, and a flexible conductor formed of a plurality of strands, the strands of the flexible conductor being at least partially joined to one another in a materially bonded manner in the region of at least one end of the flexible conductor, characterized in that the flexible conductor, at its end with the joined strands, is joined in a materially bonded manner with its end face to an end face, a narrow side or broad side of the flat conductor.
