  • Method of welding a nickel strength lug with a bronze connecting pin and a brass contact ring in an accelerometer sensor
    Patent number: 10744588
    Abstract: The present invention consists in a method of welding a nickel strength lug with a bronze connecting pin and a brass contact ring in an accelerometer sensor, the strength lug being interleaved between the connecting pin and the contact ring, the welding being effected electrically with the strength lug pressed simultaneously against the connecting pin and the contact ring. Before welding, the strength lug undergoes deformation of its external surface at least on each of two portions of the surface respectively facing the connecting pin and the contact ring, the surface deformation creating on each of the portions asperities intended to come into local contact with the connecting pin and the contact ring, respectively.
