MIG-welded aluminum laminated flexibles

Presswelding, the ultimate technology for combining copper laminates, cannot be used to economically produce aluminum flexibles. Aluminum laminates and solid bars are MIG-welded. This welding method is based on an electrical arc melting both parts tof he solid terminal palm and the laminate package. Welding metal is then pushed into the arc, liguified at high temperature forming a weld seam. To protect the liquid metal from oxidation an inert gas like Argon flows out over the welding zone. This provided the name of the welding method: Metal Inert Gas - welding.
