  • Publication number: 20220118545
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a set of pre-welding electrodes including a shape-forming electrode having a contact face. The contact face has a shape-forming structure shaping a cross-section of a first segment of a first wire with a pre-welding shape upon compression of the contact face against the first segment. The pre-welding shape has a reentrance accommodating a second segment of a second wire to be welded to the first wire.
