Contact for a vacuum interrupter and production method for such a contact

A contact for a vacuum interrupter of a low, medium or high-voltage switchgear, the contact comprising:

• a contact rod extending along a longitudinal axis of the contact and having a first electrically conductive material and an end face;
• a contact piece fastened to said end face of said contact rod, said contact piece having a second electrically conductive material and a contact surface remote from said contact rod;
• said contact piece and said contact rod being materially bonded to one another on a connecting face;
• and
• at least one of said contact rod or said contact piece having a dam running along a closed circular line, said dam configured to delimit said connecting face, rise perpendicularly relative to said longitudinal axis and force-lockingly interconnect said contact piece and said contact rod due to a force acting transversely to said longitudinal axis between said contact piece and said contact rod.
