In contrast to traditional methods like NDB (Non-Defective Bonding) and back casting for joining tungsten and copper shanks, we utilize advanced CBT®(Copper Bonding Technology) to bond shanks with non-ferrous metal tips. Our CBT no-ferrous insert spot welding electrode face materials can include tungsten, lanthanum tungsten, molybdenum, TZM, and silver tungsten. HOSO's electrodes achieve excellent working lifetimes and production yield rates.
HOSO Metal designs electrodes specifically for resistance spot welding. For more details, please refer to our tungsten electrode catalogue. Typically, our tungsten electrodes come in two types:
1: pure tungsten electrode
2: Tungsten-faced electrodes with shank materials such as copper, beryllium copper (BeCu), or CuCrlZr alloy
We employ two types of joining technologies between the tungsten and copper shank: silver brazing and NDB (No Defect Bonding).
